Page 72 S Selecting the AF Area AF Point Display Indications Pressing the <S> button lights up the AF points that are cross-type AF points for high-precision autofocusing. The blinking AF points are horizontal-line sensitive. For details, see page 76. AI Servo AF starting position When the AF area selection mode is set to 61-point automatic selection AF, you can manually select the AF point with which AI Servo AF is started (p.103).
Page 73: Af Area Selection Modes
AF Area Selection Modes Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection) Although this is the same as Single-point AF (manual selection), the selected AF point <O> covers a smaller area to focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing of overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage. Since Single-point Spot AF (manual selection) covers a very small area, focusing may be difficult during hand-held shooting or for a moving subject.
Page 74 AF Area Selection Modes AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points) The manually-selected AF point <S> and adjacent AF points <w> are used to focus. The AF point expansion is larger than with AF point expansion (manual selection ), so the focusing is executed over a wider area.
Page 75 AF Area Selection Modes 61-point automatic selection AF All the AF points are used to focus. With One-Shot AF, pressing the shutter button halfway will display the AF point(s) <S> that achieved focus. If multiple AF points are displayed, it means they all have achieved focus. This mode tends to focus the nearest subject.
Page 76: About The Af Sensor
About the AF Sensor The camera’s AF sensor has 61 AF points. The illustration below shows the AF sensor pattern corresponding to each AF point. With f/2.8 or larger maximum aperture lenses, high-precision AF is possible at the viewfinder center. Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of usable AF points and AF pattern will differ.

Page 87 3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject) Case 3: Instantly focus on subjects suddenly entering AF points Once an AF point starts tracking the subject, this setting enables the camera to focus consecutive subjects at different distances. If a new subject appears in front of the target subject, the camera will start focusing the new subject.
Page 88 3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject) Case 5: For erratic subjects moving quickly in any direction Even if the target subject moves dramatically up, down, left, or right, the AF point will switch automatically to focus-track the subject. Effective for shooting subjects that move dramatically up, down, left, or right.
Page 89 3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject) Case 6: For subjects that change speed and move erratically Geared for tracking moving subjects whose speed can change dramatically and suddenly.

Page 223 Live View Shooting Cautions Image Quality When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and banding) may become noticeable. Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the image. If Live View shooting is used continuously for a long period, the camera’s internal temperature may rise, degrading image quality.
Page 224 Live View Shooting Cautions Live View Image Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image may not reflect the brightness of the captured image. If the light source within the image changes, the screen may flicker. If this happens, exit Live View shooting and resume shooting under the actual light source to be used.
