Author Topic: Great tutorials on 5DIII and 1Dx AF system (Read 2943 times)

Canon's own Rudy Winston has posted some very helpful tutorials on how to maximize the AF systems found on the 5DIII and 1Dx. I found them much more helpful than the instruction manual, and wish I had read them before taking the 5DIII on my first shoot. There's a great explanation of cross-point AF sensors, too. The new AF system is probably an easy transition for 7D users, but for people stepping up from 5DC/II's and xxD's, there's much to learn. I'm not sure if these have been posted yet, but here goes:

Thanks, I'll read them.

+1 I'm reading the manual, but finding it a bit vague. Hope to learn from these links. Thanks for posting.

Thanks!

Enjoyable

Now, what would you choose for small kids running around? I can think of at least two-three cases I needed to work at the same time...
