>>4100074>>4100099The Digital Picture says FTM works on this lens, but
>camera must be in one-shot drive mode>AF5 Electronic full-time MF must be on>shutter must be half pressed, i.e. meter must be activehttps://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-RF-24-105mm-F4-7.1-IS-STM-Lens.aspxOnline tutorials suggest that this is not the case and with the AF5 setting on you can grab the ring any time...not just when the meter is active and not just in One Shot AF...and it will manually focus. I'm not sure why there's a difference of opinion here (firmware versions? another setting which conflicts?). But if TDP brought this up in his review it means he tried it and reported his findings. Which means he was able to manually focus without switching to MF in the menu.
A setting which possibly conflicts is AF4 Lens electronic MF. Since I don't have this body/lens combo in hand I can't tell you if AF4 conflicts with AF5, and if so what the happy setting combo is. You'll have to experiment on your own.
Again: I see a difference of opinion as to whether or not you need the meter active to FTM with this particular lens. and whether or not it only works in One Shot AF. But what I am NOT seeing is people bitching that there's simply no FTM on this lens. So, again, if you can't get it to work, contact Canon tech support and they can help you. Don't sit and pout and insist you're right unless you just don't want it to ever work.
