Compatible Lenses and Autofocusing (Viewfinder Shooting)

Warning

  • Although the camera has 45 AF points, lenses are classified into 8 groups (A–H) which vary in the number of AF points available, AF point patterns, Area AF frame shapes, and other details.
  • Using a lens in Groups E to H will have fewer usable AF points.
  • Lens groups are listed in Group Classification of Lenses. Check which group your lens belongs to.
  • The number of AF points varies depending on your specified Still Image Aspect Ratio.

Note

  • AF points in positions indicated by [AF points sensitive to horizontal lines] blink when the AF point selection or AF area selection button is pressed (while [Dual cross-type AF point/Cross-type AF points] points remain lit). For details on AF point blinking/illumination, see Meaning of Lit or Blinking AF Points.
  • For updates on “Group Classification of Lenses,” visit the Canon website or others.
  • Some lenses may not be available in certain countries or regions.

Group A

Autofocusing with 45 points is possible. All the AF area selection modes are available.

  • Dual cross-type AF point: Dual cross-type AF point. Offers superior subject tracking and higher focusing precision than other AF points.
  • Cross-type AF points: Cross-type AF point. Offers excellent subject tracking and high-precision focusing.

Group B

Autofocusing with 45 points is possible. All the AF area selection modes are available.

  • Cross-type AF points: Cross-type AF point. Offers excellent subject tracking and high-precision focusing.

Group C

Autofocusing with 45 points is possible. All the AF area selection modes are available.

  • Cross-type AF points: Cross-type AF point. Offers excellent subject tracking and high-precision focusing.
  • AF points sensitive to horizontal lines: AF points sensitive to horizontal lines.

Group D

Autofocusing with 45 points is possible. All the AF area selection modes are available.

  • Cross-type AF points: Cross-type AF point. Offers excellent subject tracking and high-precision focusing.
  • AF points sensitive to horizontal lines: AF points sensitive to horizontal lines.

Group E

Autofocusing with 35 points is possible. (Not possible with all 45 AF points.) All the AF area selection modes are available. During automatic AF point selection, the outer frame marking the AF area (Area AF frame) will be different from 45-point Automatic selection AF.

  • Cross-type AF points: Cross-type AF point. Offers excellent subject tracking and high-precision focusing.
  • AF points sensitive to horizontal lines: AF points sensitive to horizontal lines.
  • Disabled AF points (not displayed): Disabled AF points (not displayed).

Group F

Autofocusing with 35 points is possible. (Not possible with all 45 AF points.) All the AF area selection modes are available. During automatic AF point selection, the outer frame marking the AF area (Area AF frame) will be different from 45-point Automatic selection AF.

  • Cross-type AF points: Cross-type AF point. Offers excellent subject tracking and high-precision focusing.
  • AF points sensitive to horizontal lines: AF points sensitive to vertical lines (AF points in the horizontal array at the top and bottom) or horizontal lines (AF points in a vertical array on the left and right).
  • Disabled AF points (not displayed): Disabled AF points (not displayed).

Group G

Autofocusing with 27 points is possible. (Not possible with all 45 AF points.) Large Zone AF (manual selection of zone) cannot be selected in AF area selection mode. During automatic AF point selection, the outer frame marking the AF area (Area AF frame) will be different from 45-point Automatic selection AF.

  • Cross-type AF points: Cross-type AF point. Offers excellent subject tracking and high-precision focusing.
  • AF points sensitive to horizontal lines: AF points sensitive to horizontal lines.
  • Disabled AF points (not displayed): Disabled AF points (not displayed).

Group H

Autofocusing is possible only with the center AF point.

  • Cross-type AF points: Cross-type AF point. Offers excellent subject tracking and high-precision focusing.
  • Disabled AF points (not displayed): Disabled AF points (not displayed).

Caution

  • If the maximum aperture value is slower than f/5.6 (greater than f/5.6 but not exceeding f/8), focus may not be achieved with AF when shooting low-contrast or low-light subjects.
  • If the maximum aperture value is slower than f/8 (greater than f/8), AF is not possible during viewfinder shooting.

Caution

  • If Extender EF2x (I/II/III) is attached to the EF180mm f/3.5L Macro USM lens, AF is not possible.
  • Precise autofocusing may not be achieved if you use a lens and Extender EF1.4x III/EF2x III combination marked with an asterisk or a lens and extender in a combination marked with two asterisks. In this case, refer to the Instruction Manual of the lens or extender used.

Note

  • If you use a TS-E lens, manual focusing is required. TS-E lens group designations apply only when tilt or shift is not used.
