Speedlite technique: FOCUSING IN LOW LIGHT The EOS-1D X, EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 7D DSLRs all feature several different focusing modes beyond Single Point or All Points. These include Spot, Zone and AF Point Expansion. AF systems require a certain level of light to function and once the light levels fall, they can struggle to focus quickly or accurately. In these situations, you can use the assist beam from an EX-series Speedlite flashgun. If the camera still struggles to focus, instead of selecting Spot, Zone or AF Point Expansion, choose Single Point AF as your area selection method and then select the central point as this will have the best chance of achieving focus with the flashgun’s assist beam.
