Orientation linked AF point question

For some reason I never bothered setting up orientation linked points before. The manual is really vague on the available options so I thought that I would ask here.

Is it possible to set different orientation linked points or does the camera store only one at a time? I would generally be using the outer "corner points.". An example of what I'm wanting would be if had the upper right corner point on the subject and decided that I wanted to switch to a vertical shot of the same subject, than I would want the camera to automatically switch to the lower right corner point.

If I was shooting from other points than I would want different point switching for each one

I believe you can set specific points when the camera is held vertically with the shutter button on top, and another set of points when the shutter button is on the bottom.

It will be far easier for you to simply pick up your camera and play around with it than it will be explain how it works.

Two things I will point out:

- It is not "Orientation-linked AF point selection", it is "Orientation linked AF settings". While experimenting, play with different things like spot AF vs single point.

- There are 3 orientations: horizontal, vertical rotated clockwise and vertical rotated counter-clockwise.

It works ,

In Landscape generally got mine set to middle, Ive got mine set to higher than centre when in Portrait, seesm that in Portrait most action for me is higher than centre..

On 7D you also can use different focus modes depending upon orientation... for example you can set up a single point in landscape orientation, zone focus in portrait orientation.

And, keep in mind that there are two different portrait orientations. One with the camera's grip at the bottom, the other with it at the top. So there really are three orientations total... and they can all be set up differently.

I tried it, but found it seemed to cause slight delay and I was missing shots... so I stopped using it.

Thanks for the help guys. I've played with it some but I might not bother. We'll see
