3Selecting an AF Point★

The AF point is used for focusing. The AF point can be selected automatically by the camera or manually by you. In the Basic Zone modes and <Q> mode, the AF point selection is automatic only. In the <S> <R> <E> <W> modes, the AF point can be selected either automatically or manually.

•Automatic AF Point Selection

The camera selects the AF point automatically to match the subject.

•Manual AF Point Selection

You can select any of the seven AF points manually. This is best when you want to focus a particular subject, or to compose a particular shot quickly.

•Eye Control (p.43 - 49)

Select one of the seven AF points by looking at it.

Basic Procedure for AF Point Selection

1 Set the Eye Control switch to <2>.

2Press the <3> button. (1) sThe current AF point will be indicated

on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder.

3 Select the desired AF point.

• Look at the viewfinder or LCD panel and press the <h> key.

sPress the <h> keys on the left, right, top, or bottom to select the left, right, top, or bottom AF point respectively.

•To return to shooting, press the shutter button halfway or press the <3> button again.

If you use an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite and focus cannot be achieved with the AF-assist beam, select the center AF point.
