Lenses and Usable AF Points. Canon EOS 5DS, EOS 5DS R

Lenses and Usable AF Points

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.

See which group each lens belongs to on pages 105-108. Check

which group the lens in use belongs to.

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 94.

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.

Group A

Autofocusing with 61 points is possible. All the AF area selection modes are selectable.

: Dual cross-type AF point. Subject tracking is superior and the focusing precision is higher than with other AF points.

: Cross-type AF point. Subject tracking is superior and highprecision focusing is achieved.

: AF points sensitive to horizontal lines.

Group F

Autofocusing with only 47 points is possible. (Not possible with all 61

AF points.) All the AF area selection modes are selectable. During automatic AF point selection, the outer frame marking the AF area

(Area AF frame) will be different from 61-point automatic selection AF.



: Disabled AF points (not displayed).

Group G

Autofocusing with only 33 points is possible. (Not possible with all 61

AF points.) All the AF area selection modes are selectable. During automatic AF point selection, the outer frame marking the AF area

(Area AF frame) will be different from 61-point automatic selection AF.




103


Group H

AF is possible with the center AF point and the adjacent AF points above, below, on the left, and on the right. Only the following AF area selection modes are selectable: Single-point AF (manual selection), Single-point Spot

AF (manual selection), and AF point expansion (manual selection ).

If an Extender is attached to the lens and the maximum aperture is f/8

(between f/5.6 and f/8), AF will be possible.


: AF points sensitive to vertical lines

(top and bottom AF points adjacent to the center AF point) or horizontal lines (left and right AF points adjacent to the center AF point).

Not manually selectable. It works only when “AF point expansion

(manual selection )” is selected.


If the maximum aperture is smaller than f/5.6 (maximum aperture number is between f/5.6 and f/8), focus may not be achieved with AF when shooting low-contrast or low-light subjects.

When Extender EF2x is attached to the EF180mm f/3.5L Macro USM lens, AF is not possible.

If the maximum aperture is smaller than f/8 (maximum aperture number exceeds f/8), AF is not possible during viewfinder shooting.

When using a lens and an extender in the combination marked with *, precise focus may not be achieved with AF. Refer to the instruction manual of the lens or extender used.

108

Both “Extender EF1.4x” and “Extender EF2x” apply to all the I/II/III models (under this grouping).

If you use a TS-E lens, manual focusing will be required. The lens group designation of TS-E lenses applies only when you do not use tilt or shift function.
