C.Fn-16 Safety shift setting

Safety shift can be set for the shutter-priority AE and aperture-priority AE modes.

1:If the subject’s brightness changes suddenly and the current shutter-priority AE or aperture-priority AE setting becomes unsuitable, the shutter speed or aperture is shifted to obtain a suitable exposure automatically.

C.Fn-17 AF point activation area

1:The AF point activation area expands by one point all around the manually-selected AF point. A total of 7 AF points become active. This setting is effective for when only one manually-selected AF point is unable to focus track a subject moving erratically.

2:The camera automatically sets the AF point activation area to 7 or 13 points to suit the lens focal length and AF mode.This is effective when the subjectís movement is unpredictable.

¡ The AF point activation area centers on the selected AF point. Therefore, if a peripheral AF point is selected, the AF point activation area will be smaller as shown below.
