Lenses and Usable AF Points

Group A

Although the camera has 61 AF points, the number of usable AF

points and focusing patterns will differ depending on the lens. The

lenses are thereby classified into nine groups from A to I.

When using a lens in Groups F to H, fewer AF points will be usable.

To see which group a lens belongs to, refer to the Instruction

Manual downloadable from the Canon Web site. For how to

download the Instruction Manual, see page 4.

When you press the <S> button, the AF points indicated by the mark

will blink. (The / / AF points will stay lit.) Regarding lighting up or

blinking of the AF points, see page 82.

Regarding new lenses marketed after the EOS 5DS/EOS 5DS R (in the

first half of 2015), check the Canon Web site to see which group they

belong to.

Some lenses may not be available in certain countries or regions.
