EOS 5DS, EOS 5DS R Basic Instruction Manual

f: Selecting the AF OperationN

Suited for still subjects. When you

press the shutter button halfway, the

camera will focus only once.

When focus is achieved, the AF point

that achieved focus will be displayed,

and the focus indicator <o> in the

viewfinder will also light up.

With evaluative metering (p.117), the

exposure setting will be set at the

same time as focus is achieved.

While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus will be

locked. You can then recompose the shot if desired.

This AF operation is suited for moving subjects when the focusing

distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button

halfway, the camera will keep focusing on the subject continuously.

The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.

When the AF area selection mode (p.79) is set to 61-point automatic

selection AF, focus tracking will continue as long as the Area AF

frame covers the subject.
