I have been trying to set mine up to do the same and found it difficult to be honest but I’m not technically minded I haven’t watched the videoHi everyone. I have finally got round to fiddling about with the settings on my R5! Anyway I'm trying to get the "best of both worlds" scenario where I can use the back button AF to give me focus (separating AF from the shutter button) but also allowing me to use the star button to switch to eye AF
I followed instructions on this YouTube video,

The relevant part streets at 10mins 55 secs however I am now finding that I can only use back button focus with the EF button (which works normally)and when I try to use the star button to switch to I focus it will not allow me to do it.
When I look at the AF settings menu it seems to suggest that I can only do this if the tracking option is enabled. This makes perfect sense to me and I can't work out how it cold be different.
Can anyone tell me how this chap managed to get the two buttons working in the way that he did?
Thank you
I found the only way I could have animal eye focus tracking on one back button and have normal back button focus the adjacent button was to turn on tracking focus when I want to use eye focus and turn it off when I want to do normal focus
I did this by adding tracking focus off/on into the quick menu
There must be a better way of doing it though
I’ll have a look at the video when I get a chance and try again
