On my A7iv i have the AEL button set for Reg.AF Area+AF. I use AF-on for back button focusing and my AEL for tracking.
So AF-on is set for Spot S and AEL is set for Tracking M.
When looking at the display the Tracking M is blinking over the Spot S showing that the Reg.AF Area+AF is indeed set to Tracking M.
On the Focus Area Limit I have only the Spot S and Tracking M checked. Everything else is unchecked so they shouldn't even be an option on the screen.
The problem is when I press the AEL for tracking it jumps to Zone Tracking. The Tracking M shows for a split second and then it switches and tracks the subject with Zone Tracking.
When I point the camera at a blank wall with nothing to focus on and press the AEL the Tracking M is on but when moving the camera from the blank wall to something that the camera can focus on, without ever taking my finger from the button, it switches to Zone Tracking.
It doesn't matter which tracking mode I set as soon as I press the AEL button it will go back to Zone Tracking.
I'm wondering if it is a glitch or am I doing something wrong in the settings? It worked perfectly before I updated the firmware to 6.01. I also noticed when I updated the firmware the Custom focus modes were all turned on in my Custom settings. I had to go into the Focus Area Limit and uncheck the Focus areas I don't use.
