Focusing Point Activation Area
C.Fn-17 can be set to expand the focusing point's activation area to include
more than one active focusing point. (→p.108)
•C.Fn-17-1 Expanding the activation area to 7 points
(→p.108)
This larger activation area makes it easier to focus subjects moving
irregularly.
•C.Fn-17-2 Expanding the activation area to 7 or 13 points
automatically (→p.108)
As shown below, the focusing point activation area expands automatically
to 7 or 13 points depending on the lens focal length, AF mode, and the
subject's speed in the AI Servo AF mode. This is effective when the
subject's movement is unpredictable.
* To set the Custom Function, see “Selecting and Setting Custom
Functions” on page 96.
