With the following camera models, focus presets cannot be used with Live View shooting or movie shooting. EOS 60Da, EOS REBEL T5/1200D, EOS REBEL T6/1300D, EOS REBEL T7/2000D/1500D, EOS REBEL T100/4000D/3000D As well as all EOS cameras released in 2011 and earlier.

 

Focus presets can be used in all focus modes. Focus speed is slow only during movie shooting when the focus mode is PF, and is fast for all other settings. In slow speed, you can make a 2-step change in focus speed depending on how much the playback ring is turned. All focus presets are initially at the lens' mechanical limit in the infinity direction (not at infinity)when the lens is mounted on a camera. Preset focusing distances remain in memory until the lens is detached from the camera.
