Designating targets on BF4 / PS4

On the single player campaign mode of BF4 on PS4 on the first level (Baku) I have difficulty handing off targets to the chopper or members of my squad. I press and hold R1 to bring up the Binoculars but I can't designate/spot the targets. Am I missing a step? I am very new to shooter games and need advice.

Just tap R1. Don't hold, the holding is to spot them for you to track them behind cover and not your teammates
