For competitions with sudden deceleration (or sudden
acceleration) such as cornering in motor sports and running
long jumps in track and field, [Case4] is effective. [Case 6] is
also recommended for a lot of movement in the up, down,
left, right directions.
[Case5] is recommended
for capturing up and
down and side to side
movement in badminton
smash shots, and jumping
scenes in gymnastics
competitions. [Case 6] is
also recommended for
sudden changes in subject
distance.
For shooting close-ups of a large subject such as an airplane,
set [AF area selection mode] to [Large Zone AF].
Small subjects such as wild birds
Use [Zone AF] and capture the surface of the
subject from a somewhat narrow angle.

AF Configuration Tool Case1 or Case2
This section introduces recommended settings
to math various subjects and shooting situations
from landscapes and portraits, to shooting fast-
moving subjects such as sports and wild birds.
An important point to remember is to set [AF
area selection mode] to [AF point expansion]
(up, down, left, right/surrounding), or [Zone
AF]. Next, [Case1] is generally recommended
When shooting small, quick-moving subjects such as wild
birds, etc., use [Zone AF] to specify a location in the screen to
more effectively capture the subject.
[65-point automatic selection AF] is effective for when AF
point expansion and Zone AF are insufficient for detecting
subject movement (For example, small objects moving around
freely or small animals). This feature is also effective for when
you want to quickly open up space in a composition to shoot.
for [AF Configuration Tool]. If you want even
higher AF tracking accuracy to match the
characteristics of moving subjects, use [Case2]
to [Case6]. Make sure to use the EOS 7D Mark
II high-performance 65-point cross-type AF and
