Canon’s Most Sophisticated AF, Period
All new 61-‐Point High Density Reticular AF
The newly designed 61-‐Point High Density Reticular AF features an Offset Array Sensor (with staggering AF point arrangement) to
deliver greater accuracy, no matter the situation. It offers multi-‐zone wide-‐area AF for better tracking, has 5 central dual cross-‐type
points (f/2.8 diagonal), 21 central cross-‐type points (f/5.6 horizontal & vertical) and 20 outer cross-‐type points (f/4.0 horizontal), and
is sensitive in extremely low-‐light situations (EV-‐2 for a central point with a f/2.8 lens).
The EOS 5D Mark III has a dedicated AF menu tab, so AF can be controlled without having to go through custom function menus. It
also has 6 AF point selection methods (Spot, Single Point, Single + Adjacent 4 Points, Single + Adjacent 8 Points, Zone Selection, and
Automatic AF Point Selection), plus a dedicated AF configuration tool for control of AI Servo AF III tracking parameters (tracking
sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration tracking, and AF point auto switching).
Intelligent Metering, Fast
iFCL Metering with 63-‐zone dual-‐layering metering sensor
The EOS 5D Mark III features Canon’s multi-‐layer 63-‐zone iFCL (intelligent Focus Color Luminance) Metering System that integrates
the cameras AF system into its readings. By taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding the chosen AF point(s), this
new system delivers an entirely new level of accuracy, especially in situations where the light changes quickly. The metering sensor
enables evaluative, center weighted, partial and spot metering, plus offers 5-‐step exposure compensation for perfectly exposed
images, every time.
