- The EOS 5D Mark III has a 61 point AF array with up to 41 cross-type AF sensors (depending on the maximum aperture of the lens mounted on the camera). Along with the EOS 1D-X, it has Canon’s most advanced autofocus system.
- The EOS 6D has an eleven point autofocus (AF) array with one cross-type AF sensor in the centre.

Flash Photography Basic Concepts
* Every flash photograph is two exposures in one.
*Fill flash can be used she the subject is backlit or side lit to eliminate silhouettes or shadows.
*Flash exposure is not affected by the shutter speed.( Aperture, ISO, NOT THE SHUTTER)
*Your camera measures ambient light and flash illumination separately.
*with automatic flash metering, the flash illumination is measured after the shutter button is pressed and the flash output is adjust accordingly.
*Every SLR camera with a mechanical shutter box has a maximum flash sync speed.
*Harsh lighting washed out subjects and red eye can be eliminated by using diffusers and light bouncing.
*Its s possible to change the order of when he flash fires using " Rear Curtain Sync".
*Removing the flash from the top of the camera helps eliminate red eye and unflattering shadows.
