Can anyone explain the procedure on how to get this. Also, do I need to use the Navigation button only or a different one on the back .  Thanks  Dennis

BBF (rear button focusing): Switch to MF, and press the joystick to focus.

Hi,

Easy, as SrMi just wrote. You may find it worthwhile to view the following episode from Reddotforum: 

And perhaps also this from math photographer:

Thank you everyone. I did check these out and Made many adjustments and Back focus as well.  I appreciate that

I hope in a better future they'll add an extra button for backbutton focusing; with the joystick I often still accidentally move the focus point, you have to press it very precisely.

I do the same occasionally.  My Nikon Z6 has both an AF-On button and a joystick.  Unfortunately, they are close enough together that I often hit the joystick while pressing the button and move the focus point.  A change I would really like to see is the ability to select iAF as the autofocus mode for the Leica joystick.  That way I would not have to manually change autofocus modes when shifting from a static to moving subject.
