C.Fn-6 Auto AF point selection: Color Tracking
Use this function to autofocus by recognizing colors equivalent to skin tones.
This function works in One-Shot AF mode when the AF area selection mode
is set to Zone AF (manual selection of zone) or 19-point AF auto selection.
0: One-Shot AF only
In One-Shot AF mode, the camera selects AF points automatically
based on AF information and information on colors equivalent to
skin tones. This makes focusing on people easier, so you can
prioritize composition in shooting.
1: Disable
AF points are automatically selected based only on AF
information. Generally, the nearest subject will be focused on.
C.Fn-7 AF point display during focus
You can set whether or not to display the AF point(s) in the following cases: 1.
when selecting the AF point(s), 2. when the camera is ready to shoot (before
AF operation), 3. during AF operation, and 4. when focus is achieved.
0: Selected (constant)
The selected AF point(s) is always displayed.
1: All (constant)
All 19 AF points are always displayed.
2: Selected (pre-AF, focused)
The selected AF point(s) is displayed for 1, 2, and 4.
3: Selected (focused)
The selected AF point(s) is displayed for 1 and 4.
4: Disable display
For 2, 3, and 4, the selected AF point(s) will not be displayed.

With setting 0, focusing will take slightly longer than with setting 1.

Even with setting 0, the expected result may not be obtained depending
on the shooting conditions and subject.

Under light so low that the flash emits the AF-assist beam automatically,
AF points are selected automatically based only on AF information. (The
AF will not use information on colors equivalent to skin tones.)
With setting 2 or 3, the AF point will not be displayed even when focus is
achieved with AI Servo AF.
