Canon X EOS1D

61-Point High-Density Reticular AF

Improved AF performance capturing fast moving subjects

The EOS-1D X is equipped with a newly developed 61-Point High-Density Reticular AF making it possible to capture fast moving subjects in situations where accurate focusing even with a high performance autofocus is difficult. By arranging the 61 AF points in a high concentration, the level of composition freedom, and tracking performance is greatly improved. Featuring 41 high precision cross-type AF points compatible with f/4 lens and new algorithms, are used together with AI Servo AF III to improve accuracy for predictive AF, making it possible to focus precisely when shooting subjects with extremely fast movement, such as agile players with unpredictable behavior.
