(orientation) of A) Horizontal position, B)

[Separate AF points:Point only] is newly-
added to [Orientation linked AF point].
This lets you set different AF points but
use the same AF area selection mode
for vertical and Horizontal positions.
Because settings are simple, this is an
excellent feature for shooting in the
vertical and horizontal positions set in
the [AF area selection mode].
During sporting events or concerts, it is
common to change the camera between
horizontal and vertical positions. The EOS-1D X
is equipped with an abundance of AF frames to
choose from - 61 points to be exact. This
provides a high degree of freedom when
composing shots, however, one downfall is that
when the uppermost left AF point is selected
for shooting while the camera is held in the
horizontal position is that when the grip is
switched to the vertical position, the AF point
ends up in the bottommost lower left of the
screen. If you want to keep the entire body of
the athlete in the frame while focusing on their
face, you must choose another AF point.
In situations like this, AF point settings for each
position are especially useful. By selecting
[Separate AF pts: Area+pt] from [Orientation
linked AF point], individual settings for each of
the AF area selection modes and the manually
selected AF points can be stored in camera
memory. In the previous case, for example, if
you set the center upper edge AF point
beforehand when in the vertical position with
the grip at the top, it is possible to have the AF
point line up with the position of the face
instantly when switching from the horizontal to
vertical position.
