61-Point High-Density Reticular AF

Features of The AF on EOS-1D X

The EOS-1DX is equipped with a newly-developed

61-Point High-Density Reticular AF. By arranging the 61

AF points in a dense concentration, the level of freedom

in composition, and tracking performance of quick-

moving subjects is improved. In combination with AI

Servo AF III, which incorporates a new algorithm

ensuring, accurate focusing on a subject is possible. You

can also effectively set AI Servo AF features using the AF

Configuration Tool. Because you can choose from six

different presets, the correct settings are always quick

and easy, without all the trouble that comes from

adjusting settings for individual parameters to match the

subject or scene.

Firmware V2.0

In the new EOS-1DX firmware V2.0, AF performance is

even further improved and operability is expanded with

a focus on AF. AF performance in low-light conditions is

improved for the first shot of AI Servo AF, demonstrating

its true ability when shooting subjects in dark locations.

Additionally, this version incorporates numerous helpful

features that assist in shooting moving subjects, such as

newly-added special AF parameters to deal with speed

changes in moving subjects, and additional functions

that can be assigned to the button customization. This

AF Setting Guidebook introduces effective settings to

make full use of the EOS-1D X high-performance AF

features including new functions of V2.0 of the

firmware.

The Various AF-related functions are

now incorporated into an AF menu tab

particular, the AF Configuration Tool included in tab AF1

can be used to easily match settings with the AI Servo AF

characteristics, making it an important feature that takes

advantage of the advanced AF performance on the EOS-

1D X. By selecting from six presets (Case 1 - Case 6),

makes it possible to set the AI Servo AF characteristics to

most accurately suit the subject's movement, and scene

conditions. It is also possible for fine control to adjust

each parameters separately.
