AF Configuration Tool [Presets]
Optimize AI Servo AF for the type of subject movement
Six preset options for different situations, with further ability to fine-tune if desired
[AF1] tab screen: The AF Configuration Tool. By selecting an appropriate
preset from the Case 1-Case 6 icons on the left side of the screen, the most
effective AI Servo AF settings for different subjects can be made.
When the [AF1] tab on the EOS-1D X is
opened, [Case 1: Versatile multi-purpose
setting] a running man icon will be displayed.

The AF Configuration Tool is
a f u n c t i o n f o r s e t t i n g A I
S e r v o A F c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s .
Therefore, it s set tings will
have no effect when using
[One shot AF].
These six presets are combinations of the
f o l l o w i n g t h re e p a r a m e t e r s : [ Tr a c k i n g
sensitivity], [Accel./decel. tracking], and [AF
pt auto switching] (P. 20–27). Selecting a
Case sets the parameters in the most effective
way. However, if you wish, it is also possible to
manually adjust each parameter individually.
Important to note: the six cases in the AF
Configuration Tool only affect focus-tracking in
AI Servo AF — there's no impact in One-Shot AF.
