p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Intelligent Macro Tracking in what Canon bodies?


I have read about this feature introduced with the 7D called "Intelligent Macro Tracking". When the camera is in AI Servo focus mode using a Canon macro lens and magnification is 1/3 greater it starts super sampling the subject. Supposedly the 1D Mark IV has it as well.

Anyone know if it's in any of the later bodies, specifically the 5D III and 70D?

Neither the 1DIV nor the 7D manuals say anything about this. The only mentions about macro are with respect to IS, ring flash, and (for the 7D) about limits on AF for the 50/2.5 macro lens.

"Hybrid IS" is in the EF 100/2.8L IS Macro.

I've seen that article, unfortunately it's dated August 2011. Both the 5DIII and 70D have come out since then.

It isn't documented. It came out from a tech at one of B&H's video seminars and was allegedly verified by Chuck Westfall of Canon USA.

I would be leery of believing something that Canon itself doesn't advertise. If they actually had developed such a feature, why wouldn't they advertise it and monetize it?
