R5 eye controlled focus on R5 Mk 1

[fishmanxxx]

I recently bought a used R5 Mk 1 and on one occasion I noticed a small round target (about the size of the spot focus square) that moved with my eye movement in the frame of the camera’s viewfinder. No I’m not talking about eye focussing where the camera tracks the animal or person eye to achieve focus.
I know that this model is not supposed to have this feature but I know what I saw and haven’t seen it again. Sometimes a manufacturer will have a feature installed but not enabled. Has anyone else ever seen this on their R5 Mk1?

Eye controlled autofocus requires additional dedicated hardware inside the viewfinder. Notably, that hardware requires the viewfinder to be significantly larger than the one on the R5. Not sure what you saw, but that wasn’t it.

Not something as simple as the camera AF tracking just happened to coincidentally be following the action that you were also looking at?
