p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · EOS-1D X AF Settings Guidebook Updated


The EOS-1D X Autofocus Guidebook has been updated February 2014 after the new firmware:

LInk to the article:

http://learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2012/1dx_guidebook.shtml

You will find the new pdf-file at the end. I can't find a way to make the direct link to it work properly.

Enjoy.

Cheers for the heads up. I had been checking that site now and then expecting an update, but had forgotten about it for the last month. Good to see it's finally been done.

I will read now and see if I learn anything

Personally, after using FW 2.0 for a while now I have to say that the best new feature is the option to have my AF-ON button be my back button, AI Servo as always and now having my * button be AF-ON, One Shot. I used to never get to use One-shot and just relied on a single push of the AI Servo to lock it in on a static subject. Now I have the option to use the more precise One-Shot algorithms any time I want without taking my eye off the viewfinder
Thanks to these forums for showing me how to set that up properly as it isn't all that intuitive even after I read the updated manual for 2.0.

Yeah, I have to admit I really like that I can put the One Shot AF mode on the AF-ON button. Much easier and faster to grab sportraits now.

There's new features I wasn't even aware of.

I'll be might pissed if they don't release most of this for the 5D III too. Seems silly seeing they are so similar in AF. At least release the M mode EC in Auto ISO, minimum shutter speed improvements for Auto ISO, and some of the AF settings.

You're all very welcome.

I haven't even had time to read it myself, too much work going on right now, but I'm looking forward to doing it this weekend.

Thanks Nils, just re-read the entire guidebook to rehash my memory & occupy my insomnia.. didn't end up changing much (only changed 2nd image priority to +2 to slow down frame rate & focus on accurate focus in low-light)

thinking over the entire AF module/process on the 1DX made me realize one thing though - i have it pretty easy now with the 1DX & if there ever is a situation i can't overcome, it's 99.9% user error or lack of experience, not the inability of the camera.

solid solid camera, after over a year of heavy usage in a wide range of scenarios
