Af Area Selection Modes - Canon EOS REBEL T7I Basic Instruction Manual

AF Area Selection Modes

S Single-point AF (Manual selection)
m Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)
The AF area is divided into nine focusing zones for focusing. Since all
the AF points in the selected zone are used for Automatic selection AF,
it is superior to Single-point AF in tracking the subject, and it is also
effective for moving subjects.
However, since it is inclined to focus on the nearest subject, focusing on
a specific target may be more difficult.
The AF point(s) achieving focus is displayed as <S>.
n Large Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)
The AF area is divided into three focusing zones (left, center, and right)
for focusing. Since the focusing area is larger than with Zone AF and all
the AF points in the selected zone are used for Automatic selection AF,
it is superior to Single-point AF in tracking the subject, and it is also
effective for moving subjects.
However, since it is inclined to focus on the nearest subject, focusing on
a specific target may be more difficult.
The AF point(s) achieving focus is displayed as <S>.
Select one AF point <S> to be used for focusing.
