Part 1: General Information
if the subject moves after focus is achieved in the
One-Shot AF mode, the camera switches automatical-
ly to the AI Servo AF mode for predictive AF. Then
while the shutter button is pressed halfway or during
continuous shooting, the autofocus tracks the sub-
ject according to eye movement and AF distance
information.
In the Full Auto mode, Eye-Controlled Autofocus is
disabled and the focusing point is camera-selected.
* Calibration for Eye-Controlled Autofocus can be
entered for up to three users. Eye-Controlled
Autofocus can be calibrated for horizontal and ver-
tical framing.
The calibration sequence is as follows:
1. Set the Command Dial to CAL.
2. The far-right (or top) focusing point blinks.
3. Look at the far-right (or top) focusing point.
4. Press the shutter button halfway.
5. Calibration is confirmed.
6. The far-left (or bottom) focusing point blinks.
7. Look at the far-left (or bottom) focusing point.
8. Press the shutter button halfway.
9. Calibration is confirmed and completed.
(2) Manual focusing point selection
The dial-selected focusing point is set.
(3) Automatic focusing point selection
In the One-Shot AF mode: Based on the subject infor-
mation obtained by the three focusing points, the
optimum focusing point is selected by the camera.
In the predictive AF and AI Servo AF mode: The cen-
ter focusing point is initially selected. If the subject
moves to another focusing point, AI Servo AF will
continue to track the subject.
In the AI Focus mode: The One-Shot AF mode selects
the optimum (closest) focusing point based on the
subject information obtained by the three focusing
points. Subject movement is detected by the center
focusing point. After the mode switches to predictive
AF and AI Servo AF, the subject is tracked ifit moves
from the center focusing point to another focusing
point. (If the subject is initially focused with the left
or right focusing point in the One-Shot AF mode and
it later moves, the subject movement will not be
detected. Therefore, when shooting a moving subject,
using the center focusing point for initial focusing is
recommended.)
ID AF is activated by pressing the shutter button halfway.
11 The AE lock button can also be set to activate AF. (In this
case, AE lock is activated by pressing the shutter button
halfway.)
Same as with the EOS A2E.
