With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/5.6
With the center AF point, cross-type AF (sensitive to both vertical and
horizontal lines) is possible. The remaining eight AF points are
horizontal-line sensitive or vertical-line sensitive.
With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/2.8
With the center AF point, high-precision, cross-type AF sensitive to both
vertical and horizontal lines is possible. The center AF point’s sensitivity
to vertical and horizontal lines is about twice as sensitive as the other
AF points. The remaining eight AF points are horizontal-line sensitive or
vertical-line sensitive.
* Except with the EF 28-80mm f/2.8-4L USM and EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro
lenses.

displayed like normal AF points. They function as
follows:

lenses, as with the center AF point.
