Hi,

I just bought a 2nd hand 7D from a nice forummer. Could I ask regarding the focus points? I noticed that it glows red sometimes when in dark situation but it is just plain grey in a brighter situation.

Is there any way to have it all red as I find it hard to see the grey ones.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. The thing is most people have been talking about the red glow when achieving focus, but I haven't seen anyone mention about this happening when changing AF points. Anyway, thanks alot for your clarification!

You can download the manual here if you didnt get it from the seller. Refer to p.229 if i understand your question correctly.

When it glows red it means the af point has tracked n locked on..the only time when it's all on it when ur selecting ur af points

How is everyone liking the latest firmware update? I heard that there were a few issues when it first came out. Has everything stabilized by now?
