Re: The Spot AF Problem

Since the AF is using ALL the pixels, each spot is a cluster of pixels already.

The R5 has 45 million pixels and the order of 5000 AF points,so theoretically each AF point is a cluster of 9000 pixels. That is my understanding, I could be wrong

That is why eye AF works so well,except when it does not, which is due to a lack of enough contrast.It works if the AF point sits on a area of sufficient contrast, which is possibly why the intended and the actual spot AF point varies.
