How to select the autofocus mode on the EOS Digital Rebel XT.
Solution
The AF mode is the autofocusing operation method. Three AF modes are provided. One-Shot AF is suited for still subjects, while AI Servo AF is for moving subjects. And AI Focus AF switches from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject starts moving. In the Basic Zone modes, the optimum AF mode is set automatically.
-
1. Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF>.
2. Press the < AF> button.
The [AF mode] menu will appear.
3. Select the AF mode.
Press the <> key to select the desired setting, then press <>.
ONE SHOT: One-Shot AF AI FOCUS: AI Focus AF AI SERVO: AI Servo AF
When you press the shutter button halfway, the LCD panel will display an arrow <> next to the current AF mode.
Although you can still set the AF mode while the lens focus mode switch is set to <MF>, the AF mode will not take effect during manual focus.
If an Extender (optional) is attached and the maximum aperture of the lens is f/5.6 or smaller, AF will not be possible. For details, see the Extender' s instructions.
<AF> stands for Auto Focus, and <MF> is Manual Focus.
