2 5D functions missing on 1Ds Mark III

[ymages]

On the 5D I am using AF + * for auto-focus, without pressing * the AF become not

possible , on 5D it is [C. Fn] number 4 ,Number 1 Lock AE/Autofocus

 

do you know where it is on the 1Ds Mark III ?

 

on the 5D they are 7 modes : C, Bulb, M, Av, Tv, P (and green square)

do you know where is the mode C on the 1Ds Mark III ?

 

thank you

Thank you Hansen but it does not work

with C.Fn IV number 2 on , AF is still working alone

on the 5D with this option on it is impossible to get AF without pressing *

Your post is incredibly unclearly worded.

 

Am I correct in understanding that you want to move the autofocus command off of the half shutter button and put it on the AE lock (*) button, like you get with the "AE Lock/AF" setting on the 5D?

 

If so, the description before the slash tells you what the half shutter button does, and the description after the slash tells you what the AE lock (*) button does Therefore, if my understanding is correct as to what you want, then you can choose any one of the options that puts "AF" after the slash.

 

I am not sure of the exact controls of the Mk. III, but I can't imagine why the Mk. III would not have an "AE Lock/AF" or an "AE/AF" option, since these are probably the most frequent (and sensible) CF selections for those who are custom function inclined.

 

Or is it "AF/AF Lock" that you are after?

 

At any rate, once you understand the slash thing I explained above, you can decipher what the options are pretty quickly.

I only need the same function than the one on EOS 5D :: [C. Fn] number 4 ,Number 1 Lock AE/Autofocus

Doesn't the 1Dx Mark III's and 40D all have dedicated AF buttons on the back of the camera to the left of the * button I think. I would try and use that rather than the *, the problem with the latter with the 20D, 30D and 5D was you lost FEL.

I dont know , they are so many options on the 1Ds

I wonder if a Leica M8 is not better for me

[keith_lubow]

Well, I suppose you could resort to reading the instructions if you can't figure it out.

The Leica M8 is a totally different camera. If you want to shoot like the Leica M8 with the 1Ds

Mk 3 just turn off everything and shoot manual. I use manual focus and manual exposure on

mine. So I can't really help you with your custom function problem. ;-) The only item I do a

custom function is the white balance.

I think you should read the manual of the camera. You have a very complex piece of equipment in your hand. Without reading its manual, it is almost impossible to operate it the pros. would like.
