You can configure AF functions in detail to suit your shooting style or subject.
[ 3]
[ ] Focus
The picture will not be taken until focus is achieved. Useful when you want to achieve focus before capturing the image.
[ ] Release
Prioritizes shutter release over focus. Useful when capturing the decisive moment is most important.
Note that the camera shoots whether or not the subject is in focus.
Preview AF
This function keeps subjects generally in focus. The camera is ready to focus immediately when you press the shutter button halfway.
2. Select [Enable].
:
Caution
Fewer shots are available when set to [Enable], because the lens is driven continuously and battery power is consumed.
You can specify lens operation that applies when autofocusing on a subject is not possible.
:
[ ] Continue focus search
If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, the lens is driven to search for the precise focus.
Caution
[Stop focus search] is recommended for super telephoto lenses or other lenses that are driven over a large focus area, to avoid significant delay from focus search drive if the
lens becomes greatly out of focus.
You can enable or disable AF-assist beam firing of the camera or a Speedlite for EOS cameras.
2. Select an option.
:
[ON] Enable
Enables firing of the AF-assist beam, when needed.
[OFF] Disable
Disables firing of the AF-assist beam. Set if you prefer not to fire the AF-assist beam.
Caution
Speedlite AF-assist beam firing is disabled when the Speedlite's [ : AF-assist beam firing] Custom Function is set to [Disable].

An asterisk to the right of [ : Limit AF areas] indicates that the default setting has been modified.
[ ] →Main Dial
Press the < > button, then turn the < > dial to switch the AF area.
Note
When [ →Main Dial] is set, use < > to move the AF point horizontally.
Orientation-linked AF points
You can set separate types of AF areas or positions of AF points for vertical and horizontal shooting.
:
[ ] Same for both vert/horiz
The same AF points or Zone AF frames in the same AF areas are used in both vertical and horizontal shooting.
Caution
The default setting of [Same for both vert/horiz] is restored if you select [Basic settings] in [ : Reset camera] ( ). Settings for orientations (1)–(3) are cleared, and the
camera is set to use the center Zone AF frame in Flexible Zone AF 1.
The setting may be cleared if you switch lenses.

:
Operation of manual focus adjustment using the electronic focusing ring when certain lenses are attached is customizable. Check the Canon website for compatible lenses ( ).
Disable
Operation of manual focus adjustment corresponds to the [Lens electronic MF] setting.
Enable
Manual focus adjustment is available whenever the camera is on.
Lens electronic MF
For lenses equipped with electronic manual focusing, you can specify how manual focus adjustment is used with One-Shot AF.
[ ] One-Shot→enabled
You can manually adjust the focus after the AF operation if you keep holding down the shutter button halfway.
[ ] One-Shot→enabled (magnify)
You can manually adjust the focus after the AF operation if you keep holding down the shutter button halfway. You can magnify the area in focus and adjust the focus manually by
turning the lens focusing ring.
[ ] Disable in AF mode
Manual focus adjustment is disabled when the lens's focus mode switch is set to < >.
Caution
With [One-Shot→enabled (magnify)], display may not be magnified even if you turn the lens focusing ring while pressing the shutter button halfway immediately after
shooting. If so, you can magnify display by releasing the shutter button, waiting for [ ] display, then pressing the shutter button halfway as you turn the lens focusing ring.
Note
For details on your lens's manual focus specifications, refer to the Lens Instruction Manual.

Available when using lenses that have a combination focusing ring/control ring but have no switch to switch between these feature.
Note
Switching is also possible from the Quick Control screen, when customized with [ : Customize Quick Controls] ( ).
When active
You can set [Always on] to have the AF speed take effect at all times for movie recording (before and during movie recording) or set [During shooting] to have the AF speed take
effect only during movie recording.
AF speed
You can adjust the AF speed (focus transition speed) from the standard speed (0) to slow (one of seven levels) or fast (one of two levels) to obtain the desired effect for the movie
creation.
Caution
With certain lenses, even if you adjust the AF speed, the speed may not change.
Note
Operation when inactive is equivalent to when [AF speed] is set to [Standard (0)].
An asterisk “*” to the right of [ : Movie Servo AF speed] indicates that the default setting has been modified.
You can adjust the tracking sensitivity (to one of seven levels), which affects responsiveness if the subject strays from the AF point during Movie Servo AF, as when interfering objects
move across AF points or when you pan.
This function is available when [ : Movie Servo AF] is set to [Enable].
:
Locked on: –3/–2/–1
With this setting, the camera is less likely to track a different subject if the subject strays from the AF point. The closer the setting is to the minus (–) symbol, the less the camera is
inclined to track a different subject. It is effective when you want to prevent the AF points from rapidly tracking something that is not the intended subject during panning or when an
obstacle cuts across the AF points.
Responsive: +1/+2/+3
This makes the camera more responsive when tracking a subject that covers the AF point. The closer the setting is to the plus (+) symbol, the more responsive the camera is. It is
effective when you want to keep tracking a moving subject as its distance from the camera changes or to rapidly focus on another subject.
