Canon eos5d manual EOS 5D Mark II’s Viewfinder

I. OVERVIEW 7

Both EOS cameras offer Quick and Live AF modes that work in Live View mode, including a Face Detection AF mode that optimizes exposure and focus for a selected face. Faster AF speed and tracking is possible when using the viewfinder in either camera. The EOS 5D Mark II’s 9 AF points are arranged in a diamond-shaped array within the

EOS 5D Mark II’s Viewfinder

viewfinder for improved horizontal and vertical focus coverage and tracking. Eight of the AF points are horizontal- line sensitive with f/5.6 or brighter lenses, while the center point is a cross type with vertical line sensitivity with f/2.8 or brighter lenses. These selectable, and visible 9 AF points

are assisted by six invisible supplemental AF Assist Points

that can combine with the center AF point to increase its

size when tracking fast moving subjects.

The autofocus engine on the EOS 50D also includes 9 cross-type AF points in a diamond array, with eight providing

horizontal and vertical sensitivity with f/5.6 or brighter

lenses, and a unique diagonal, high precision center sensor

that works with f/2.8 or brighter lenses. In addition, both the EOS 50D and EOS 5D Mark II AF systems, like Canon’s latest 1D-series professional models, can now correct for focus point shifts caused by different light sources, and feature an AF Microadjustment setting to help fine tune individual Canon EF lenses.

The EOS 50D will suit the needs of advanced photographers looking for an extremely durable and affordable camera that also features incredible image quality, fast capture, a precision AF system, and an integrated pop-up flash system. Serious photographers and pros looking to capture images with incredible detail, wider fields of view and extreme low light scenes will find the extra cost of the EOS 5D Mark II well worth it. Add in the 1080p HD video recording and the EOS 5D Mark II can’t be beat at any price.
