Weird Console lock-on Trigger

im new, so i apologies if this is out of place or if this is not the right location to post these kinds of questions.

it seems as though there is this odd lock that involves the holding down R1 then tapping R2 (PS4 perspective).

this causes my character to lock onto the most random of objects and NPC's in view and unlocks from the enemy of which i am originally targeting.

basically, its an annoying function, and i am wondering if there are any settings that will disable this feature without affecting anything else in the process?

im still new to the game, so it would take up a lot of my time to find the correct setting without messing anything up in the process.

hope this is enough information, thanks!

I can't say I've ever encountered this problem. Probably because I never press R1 and R2 at the same time, since they don't really have a reason to interact with one another. R1 cycles cross-hotbars and R2 accesses cross-hotbar abilities.

Is there some reason you are holding R1? Have you remapped it as something else?

the reason why it happens is not because i mean to hold down both triggers. the cause is mostly because quickly cycling through each hot-bar set in order to use certain abilities.

for example, after selecting the correct hotbar set with R1, i quickly press the R2 trigger quickly while i take my finger off R1. the game simply detects the brief moment when the two triggers are held down. i could avoid this by using only my pointer fingers to manage my contoller's triggers, but the grip is too uncomfortable.

so is there a setting to disable the R1+R2 targeting?
