85 You can easily fine-tune AI Servo AF to suit a particular subject or scene just by selecting between case 1 to case 6. This feature is called the “AF Configuration Tool.” 1Select the [21] tab. 2Select a case. Turn the < 5> dial to select a case icon, then press . X The selected case will be set. The selected case is indicated in blue. As explained on pages 90 to 92, case 1 to 6 are six setting combinations of subject-tracking sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration tracking, and AF point auto switching. Refer to the table below to select the case applicable to the subject or scene. 3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject)N About Case 1 to 6 CaseIconDescriptionApplicable SubjectsPage Case 1 Versatile multi purpose setting For any moving subject. 86 Case 2 Continue to track the subject, ignoring possible obstacles Tennis players, butterfly swimmers, freestyle skiers, etc. 86 Case 3 Instantly focus on subjects suddenly entering AF points Starting line of a bicycle race, alpine downhill skiers, etc. 87 Case 4 For subjects that accelerate or decelerate quickly Soccer, motor sports, basketball, etc. 87 Case 5 For erratic subjects moving quickly in any direction Figure skaters, etc. 88 Case 6 For subjects that change speed and move erratically Rhythm gymnastics, etc. 89 COPY
86 3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject) N Standard setting suited for any moving subject. Works with many subjects and scenes. Select [Case 2] to [Case 6 ] in the following cases: when obstacles enter AF points, when the subject tends to stray from AF points, when you want to focus a subject that suddenly appears, or when the subject moves dramatically up, down, left, or right. The camera will try to continue focusing the subject even if an obstacle enters the AF points or if the subject strays from the AF points. Effective when there may be an obstacle blocking the subject or when you do not want to focus the background. Case 1: Versatile multi purpose setting Default settings • Tracking sensitivity: [ 0] • Accel./decel. tracking: [ 0] • AF pt auto switching: [ 0] Case 2: Continue to track subject, ignoring possible obstacles Default settings • Tracking sensitivity: [Locked on: -1 ] • Accel./decel. tracking: [ 0] • AF pt auto switching: [ 0] If an obstacle gets in the way or if the subject moves away from the AF points for a prolonged period and the de fault setting is unable to track the target subject, setting [ Tracking sensitivity] to [Locked on: -2 ] may give better results (p.90). COPY
87 3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject) N Once an AF point starts tracking the subject, this setting enables the camera to focus consecutive subjects at different distances. If a new subject appears in front of the target su bject, the camera will start focusing the new subject. Also effective when you want to always focus on the closest subject. Geared for tracking moving subjects whose speed can change dramatically and suddenly. Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden acceleration/ deceleration, or sudden stops. Case 3: Instantly focus on subjects suddenly entering AF points Default settings • Tracking sensitivity: [Responsive: +1 ] • Accel./decel. tracking: [ +1] • AF pt auto switching: [ 0] Case 4: For subjects that accelerate or decelerate quickly If you want to quickly focus a su bject appearing suddenly, setting [ Tracking sensitivity ] to [+2] may give better results (p.90). Default settings • Tracking sensitivity: [ 0] • Accel./decel. tracking: [ +1] • AF pt auto switching: [ 0] If the moving subject suddenly an d greatly changes speed, setting [ Accel./ decel. tracking ] to [+2] may give better results (p.91). COPY
88 3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject) N Even if the target subject moves dramatically up, down, left, or right, the AF point will switch automatically to focus-track the subject. Effective for shooting subjects that move dramatically up, down, left, or right. This setting takes effect when the following AF area selection modes are set: AF point expansion (Manual selection ), AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points), Zone AF (Manual selection), 61-point automatic selection AF. This setting is not available with the Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection) and Single-point AF (Manual selection) modes. Case 5: For erratic subjects moving quickly in any direction Default settings • Tracking sensitivity: [0] • Accel./decel. tracking: [ 0] • AF pt auto switching: [ +1] If the subject moves err atically up, down, left, or right, setting [AF pt auto switching ] to [+2] may give better results (p.92). COPY
89 3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject) N Geared for tracking moving subjects whose speed can change dramatically and suddenly. Also, if the target subject moves dramatically up, down, left or right and it is difficult to focus, the AF point switches automatically to track the subject. This setting takes effect when the following AF area selection modes are set: AF point expansion (Manual selection ), AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points), Zone AF (Manual selection), 61-point automatic selection AF. This setting is not available with the Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection) and Single-point AF (Manual selection) modes. Case 6: For subjects that change speed and move erratically Default settings • Tracking sensitivity: [0] • Accel./decel. tracking: [ +1] • AF pt auto switching: [ +1] If the moving subject suddenly and greatly ch anges speed, setting [ Accel./decel. tracking ] to [+2] may give better results (p.91). If the subject moves er ratically up, down, left, or right, setting [AF pt auto switching ] to [+2] may give better results (p.92). COPY
90 3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject) N Tracking sensitivity Sets the subject-tracking sensitivity during AI Servo AF when an obstacle enters the AF points or when the AF points stray from the subject. [0] Standard setting suited for most moving subjects. [Locked on: -2 / Locked on: -1 ] The camera will try to continue focusing the subject even if an obstacle enters the AF points or if the subject strays from the AF points. The -2 setting makes the camera track the target subject longer than with the -1 setting. However, if the camera focuses the wrong subject, it may take slightly longer to switch and focus the target subject. [Responsive: +2 / Responsive:+1 ] Once an AF point tracks a subject, the camera can focus consecutive subjects at different distances. Also effective when you want to always focus on the closest subjec t. The +2 setting makes it quicker to focus the next consecut ive subject than with +1. However, the camera will be more prone to focus on the wrong subject. About the Parameters [ Tracking sensitivity ] is the feature named [ AI Servo tracking sensitivity] in the EOS-1D Mark III/IV, EOS-1Ds Mark III, and EOS 7D. COPY
