Area Af Ellipse And Af Points - Canon EOS-1Ds Instruction Manual

Area AF Ellipse and AF Points

The Area AF ellipse is the area where the camera can focus the subject. The Area AF ellipse
has 45 AF points, making autofocus possible over a wide area in the viewfinder. You can
concentrate on composing the picture without worrying about whether an AF point is covering
the subject. As long as the subject is within the Area AF ellipse, the camera will focus the
subject automatically.
