Disable Shutter release button focus

Hi all,

Trying to set up back button focus on my new SL2 to behave in the same way as my SL typ 601 - disabling shutter release button focus and assigning AFL to joystick. 
Maybe (Probably) it’s “operator error”  but I can’t find any way to disable shutter release button focusing on the SL2, has anyone here figured this out?

If this is obvious - apologies for not finding it and many thanks for your input.

As with SL, to use back button focusing you have to switch to MF (manual focus mode, disables focusing with shutter button) and specify joystick press to lock focus (Customize Control -> Joystick -> AF Mode -> AF-L).

Of course!  Have had my SL set up for so long, forgot how to do it.  No ref to it in user manual.

Thank you!
