performance is about the same as the EOS 10D's. With an EF 300mm
f/2.8L IS USM lens, it can focus track a subject approaching at a speed of
up to 50 kph up to about 8 meters away.
• AF point selection
The AF point is manually selected with the Multi-
controller on the back of the camera as shown in Fig. 008.
The Multi-controller can be pushed in eight directions as
well as down at the center. First press the AF point
selector, then operate the Multi-controller as shown in Fig.
009. If you push the Multi-controller in the direction of the
current AF point, it will switch to automatic AF point
selection. You can also use the Main Dial/Quick
Control Dial to select the AF point (the looping sequence
is different from previous EOS D-SLRs).
Also, C.Fn-13-1/2 enables you to select the AF point directly with the
Multi-controller or dial without having to first press the AF point selector.
Since the Multi-controller enables a quick and direct way to select the AF
point, the Assist button has been eliminated.

• Continuous shooting speed
Thanks to the CMOS sensor's faster reading of
signals, a high-speed mirror driving system, and
DIGIC II, the maximum continuous shooting
speed is 5 shots/sec. despite having more
megapixels than the EOS 10D.
• Max. burst
Recording quality Large/Fine: Approx. 23 shots*, RAW: 6 shots
* When Canon 512MB CF card (Super High-speed) is used
Note: Due to the shooting condition, development condition and the CF card type, the number
of JPEG image max. burst may vary.
