S Selecting the AF Point
Maximum f/stop: Up to f/2.8
With the 39 AF points indicated by , high-precision,
cross-type AF (both horizontal- and vertical-line
sensitive) is possible during manual AF point
selection. The cross-type sensors’ vertical-line
sensitivity is approx. two times higher than their
horizontal-line sensitivity. The remaining six AF
points will be horizontal-line sensitive.
During automatic AF point selection, the number of
cross-type AF points will decrease from 39 points to the
19 points indicated with . The remaining 26 AF points
will be horizontal-line sensitive.
Maximum f/stop: f/4
High-precision, cross-type AF with the center AF point is possible. The
remaining 44 AF points will be horizontal-line sensitive only.
Maximum f/stop: f/5.6 or f/8
With f/5.6 lenses, all the AF points will be horizontal-line sensitive only.
With f/8 lenses, AF will be possible with the center AF point being
horizontal-line sensitive only. AF will not work with the other AF points.
[Manual selection]
[Automatic selection]
In the case of zoom lenses whose maximum aperture varies depending
on the lens focal length, the AF points will be horizontal-line sensitive only
(They will not work as cross-type points). However, with the EF28-80mm
f/2.8-4L USM lens, cross-type AF will work with the center AF point.
With the EF24mm f/2.8 or EF28mm f/2.8 lens, the three AF points on the
extreme left and right of the Area AF frame will be horizontal-line
sensitive (They will not work as cross-type points).
The following lenses and lens combinations have a maximum aperture of
f/4, but cross-type focusing on 39 AF points is still possible as with lenses
having an f/2.8 maximum aperture.
