I have an RF 100-500 lens and the focus ring refuses to turn for manual focus adjustments. Has anyone else with this lens encountered the same problem?

Rockwell's review includes this comment:
No always-responsive instant manual-focus override. EOS R cameras need a menu setting changed for manual-focus override, otherwise the focus ring is always ignored in AF. Find the "Lens electronic AF" option in your AF menu (AF 4 in EOS R5 and EOS R6 or CAMERA 8 in EOS RP), and set it to either "One‑Shot‑>enabled" or "One‑Shot‑>enabled (magnify)." Now manual focus override works if you turn the ring while continuing to hold the shutter halfway, but only after focus locks in ONE SHOT.

Is the AF/MF button on MF?
That will not jam up focus the ring. Its merely an encoder. It should ALWAYS be free to turn.

If the ring wont move it needs repair.
If anyone else has encountered the same problem they could only warn you what its likely to cost :-(
