C.Fn III -8 AF expansion with seiected point
During manual AF point seiection, it is possibie to activate the AF points
surrounding the selected AF point for AF. This function works in both the
One-Shot AF and Al Servo AF modes.
Convenient when it is difficult to track a moving subject with just one
manually-selected AF point. If the manually-selected AF point cannot
focus, focusing will be done with the expanded AF points.
0: Disable
1; Left/right AF point
The points on the immediate left and right (or top and bottom for a
vertical shot) of the manually-selected AF point become active.
2; Surrounding AF points
The adjacent AF points surrounding the manually-selected AF point
become active.
3: All 45 points area
In the Al Servo AF mode, the autofocus will center on the manually-
selected AF point with the row of six AF points right above and below the
AF point and the three AF points on the immediate left and right will also
become active (total of eighteen AF points). If the subject moves to
another AF point within the expanded AF points, the expanded AF will
center on that AF point. Since all 45 AF points will operate, as long as
the subject is within the Area AF frame, it will be focused at all times.
In the One-Shot AF mode, if focus cannot be achieved with the manually-
selected AF point, focusing will be done with the remaining 44 AF points.
Q • Even when C.Fn III -10-1/2/3/4 is set, the AF point expansion will take effect.
• In Al Servo AF mode, first focus with the manually-selected AF point.
• If there are two manually-selected AF points and setting 1 is set, the AF point
on the left and right of the two AF points will become active. If setting 2 is set,
up to eight AF points adjacent to the two AF points will become active.
• The AF point expansion centers on the selected AF point. Therefore, if a peripheral
AF point is selected, the AF point expansion will be smaller as shown below.
