the Quick menu, or by pressing the AF button just in
front of the top info LCD. The Zone AF option divides
the 19 AF points of the 70D into five different zones,
and you can shift the zone to the centre, left, right,
top or bottom using the same selection process as in
Single-point mode. The centre zone uses the central nine
AF points of the 19-point AF system; all other zones use
just four points. The 19-point Automatic selection mode
uses all 19 points simultaneously; its handy for general
shooting, and works well when combined with AI Servo
(continuous) autofocus. In the latter case, the central
AF point is used to acquire autofocus and to track
moving subjects. However, if the subject strays from
the centre of the frame the autofocus system will switch
to alternative AF points so that it can keep tracking.
Like the autofocus area selection button, the AF-on
button is disabled in full Auto and Scene modes, and only
works in Creative Zone shooting modes such as P, Tv, Av
and M. In these modes, pressing the AF-on button has
the same effect as half-pressing the shutter button it

Is it on or off?
Single or multi-point?
Use the M-Fn button to switch between Singlepoint AF, Zone AF and 19-point Automatic AF
modes. Its best to use Single-point AF mode when
you want to focus on a specific object within a scene.
Zone AF is a good compromise when you want to limit
multi-point autofocus to a specific area of the frame.

I have a new
Canon D-SLR
with kit IS lens, but
there seems to be
no indication in the
menus as to whether
image stabilisation
is turned on or off.
How can you tell?

A status display
on the LCD or in the
viewfinder only tends
to be featured in
cameras that use
internal, sensor-shift
stabilisation, and not
in those that use lensbased stabilisers. With
Canons recent and
current kit lenses you
can see the effect of
stabilisation in the
viewfinder after lightly
pressing the shutter
button, which tells you
that the stabiliser is
switched on.
