Hummm..... I was living with my 7D for 2 years and thought it was fine. Now I know it's not. Ignorance is bliss...
Let me see.
In one shot mode and bright light (ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/6000) red dot is not visible. The active AF point is black and confirmation beep is heard. Other AF points are not visible at all.
In one shot mode and low light (ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/10) red dot is visible. The active AF point is red and confirmation beep is heard. Other AF points are not visible at all.
One shot summary: As this is where most of my shots are made, I can live with that. Reddening (sp.?) of the active AF point bright light would be nice though.
In AI servo mode and either bright light (ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/6000) or low light (ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/10) red dot is not visible. The active AF point is black and confirmation beep is not heard. Other AF points are not visible at all. As I understand, apart from the "Other AF points are not visible at all" (I think I customized it somewhere) this is how Canon intended AI servo mode to be. I mean, in this mode the active AF point is never red and confirmation beep is never heard in every Canon camera. Am I right?
A question to 1D4 owners: Is the active AF point always red, regardless of mode and lighting conditions?
Happy shooting,
Yakim.
