| Autofocus | |
| Type | TTL-CT-SIR (Through-the-Lens Secondary Image Registration) Multi-BASIS with 3 focusing points |+| |
| Focusing Point Selection | The focusing point can be selected by camera (Automatic) or by user (Manual). |
| Focus Modes | 1. Autofocus: One of the following two AF modes is set automatically (not user-settable) to suit the picture-taking mode. The shutter does not release until focus is achieved.
a. One-Shot AF: Autofocus locks when focusing is achieved with stationary subject.
b. Al Servo AF for automatic switching between One-Shot AF and predictive AF for moving subjects.
2. Manual Focus: Setting the lens' focus mode switch to MF ( or M) enables manual focusing with the focusing ring. |
| Focus Operation | Af is activated by pressing the shutter button halfway. |
| AF Working Range | EV 2-18 ( at ISO 100,standard chart) |
| AF Assist Method | Beam automatically emitted when necessary and aimed at the area covered by the active focus point. |
| Exposure Control | |
| Metering Modes | 1. TTL max. aperture metering with 6 zone silicon photcell. Three metering patterns available.
a. Evaluative metering
b. Centerweighted average metering (Set automatically in M mode).
c. Partial Metering (Measure approx. 9% of central area; activated while pressing AE Lock Button only.)
2. E-TTL (with EOS dedicated external Speedlite) 6 zone metering of E-TTL pre-flash
