TALKInG POInT… AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM

All 45 of the 6D Mark II’s AF function as cross-type when a lens with a maximum aperture of f5.6 is mounted. Of these, 27 operate when there’s a maximum aperture of f8 or larger. A total of nine of these points are cross-type at f8. The centre point functions as a dual cross-type at f2.8. In addition, the system is sensitive down to -3EV, making the Mark II far better at finding subjects than the original 6D.

As with Canon’s pro-level cameras, it’s possible to customise how the continuous AF system works with control over parameters such as Tracking sensitivity, Acceleration/deceleration tracking and AF point auto switching enabling you to adjust how the camera responds.
