300D FULL TIME AI Servo in Creative Modes!

[PhotosGuy]

I didn't know it had it 'till I read this. Since it's tucked away in the "Photo Sharing - Sports" section, I thought I'd give a heads up here.

Interesting....would have like to have stumbled across that before I upgraded to the 20D.......lol

Thanks Frank! That's good to know!:D YeeeHaaaa...
Can't wait to test that on some bird shots.

EDIT:#1, #2 and #3 all work like a charm! Muahahahaha..... :twisted:

big thanks for this. I'll be testing it out next weekend.
Almost hope it doesn't work to good, nearly have the wife talked into the 20D for AI servo :evil:

This is from the instruction manual on the 300D, (the chart on page 123): "AI Focus AF - Automatically switches between ONE SHOT AF and AI Servo AF according to the subject status." (whatever the heck that means) and according to the Function Availability Table on page 122, AI Focus is the mode it uses in Full Automatic, Flash Off, and every Creative Zone mode except A-DEP.

If you can't find your manual, here it is in PDF format:

This manual is often vague. Thanks to contributors here for the useful information. I'm a little less confused now.

I've read the manual 3 times & parts more than that & missed that note each time. I don't know what "according to the subject status." means, either.:D:D

Ok, now i have a question regarding the wasia hack. Since we can trick the 300D to allow the AI Servo in Creative modes, is there any more motivation to get the hack just for the AI Servo purpose?
Thanks in advance.
