59 Using Autof ocus (AF) 3 3 The Area AF ellipse has 45 AF points. By selecting the optimum AF point, autofocusing can be executed while you maintain the desired subject framing.
60 Selecting AF Mode AF stands for ‘autofocus’. The camera has two AF modes: One-Shot AF for still subjects , and AI Servo AF for mo ving subjects. (AI is an abbreviation f or Ar tificial Intelligence.) Select the AF mode that suits the subject. Set the lens focus mode switch to < >.
61 Using Autof ocus (AF) 3 Selecting AF Mode One-Shot AF f or Still Subjects Pressing the shutter button halfway activates AF operation and ac hieves focus once. s The AF point which achiev es focus flashes briefly and the focus confirmation light < > in the viewfinder lights at the same time.
62 Selecting AF Mode AI Servo AF for Mo ving Subjects While you press the shutter button halfway , the camera f ocuses continu- ously . • This AF mode suits moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. • With predictive AF ∗ , the camer a can also focus track a subject which steadily approaches or retreats from the camera.
63 Using Autof ocus (AF) 3 Area AF Ellipse and AF P oints The Area AF ellipse is the area where the camera can f ocus the subject. The Area AF ellipse has 45 AF points, making autof ocus possible over a wide area in the vie wfinder. Y ou can concentrate on composing the picture without worrying about whether an AF point is cov ering the subject.
64 Selecting AF P oint The AF point can be selected automatically or manually . • Automatic Selection F rom among the 45 AF points, the camera selects the AF point automatically to suit the subject. • Manual Selection (One of three groups of selectab le AF points can be used) (1) Y ou can select one of the 45 AF points manually .

71 Using Autof ocus (AF) 3 AF Sensitivity and the Lens’ Maxim um Aper ture The EOS-1Ds’ s AF points are all hor izontal-line sensitiv e. Howe ver , bright lenses with a large maximum aperture enable cer tain AF points to work as cross-type sensors f or higher AF precision.
72 AF Sensitivity and the Lens' Maximum Aperture (3) With the follo wing Extenders and L-series lenses whose maximum aper ture is f aster than f/8, the center AF point will be horizontal-line sensitive only . The other AF points cannot be used for AF .
73 Using Autof ocus (AF) 3 When A utof ocus F ails (Manual Focusing) Autof ocus can fail to achie ve f ocus (the focus confirmation light blinks) with cer tain subjects such as the follo wing: (a) Low-contrast subjects (b lue sky , solid-color walls, etc.
74 When A utofocus F ails (Manual F ocusing) Manual Focusing Set the lens focus mode s witch to < > (or < > on older lenses). • The AF mode indicator on the LCD panel turns off. 1 Focus by turning the lens f ocusing ring until the subject is in focus in the viewfinder .
75 Metering Modes 4 4 Evaluative, partial, spot, and centerweighted average metering modes are provided. Center spot metering, AF point-linked spot metering, and multi-spot metering can also be set. Select the metering mode that suits the subject or your photographic inten- tion.
76 Selecting a Metering Mode Metering Modes While pressing the < > button, turn the < > dial until the desired metering mode icon appears. 1 Release the < > button. 2 Evaluative Metering This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects .
77 Metering Modes 4 Metering Modes Partial Metering This mode is effectiv e when the background is much brighter than the subject (due to backlighting, etc.). The metering is weighted at the center cov ering 8.5% of the viewfinder area. Spot Metering This is for metering a particular part of the subject or scene.
78 Metering Modes Multi-Spot Metering With multiple spot meter readings, you can see the relative exposure levels of multiple areas in the picture and set the exposure to obtain the desired result. Set the metering mode to spot metering. ( → p.76) 1 Aim the AF point over the midtone area (the ceiling 1 ) and press the < > button.
