1D MKIII ring of fire question

just managed to use it yesterday on BELIEVE show at sea world.
question is: can i select the inner 9 points as my ring of fire? rather than the outer points? if so, how?

I use the inner points. You have to set it in your CFn menu buddy. How's the trip?

heh, had a feeling you had gone away,,,,,, hope all is well mate, and you having fun with the MK3

I have selection of the ROF points on My Menu for quick access.
Hope you had a good time. Post some pics, please.

Let me correct myself. If you are using center point, use the inner points points to assist in aquiring focus. I hope you brought your manual Pat.

there is only one "ring of fire", and by definition it's all points by default.however you can set your camera to use just the center circle by using af expansion as jdizzle mentioned, or you can manually select any point you wish (there is a cf to let you only use the center 9+center points, outer 9+center points, or all, in case you never need one or the other). still, there will only be one ROF

darn it - no, i've not brought my manual with me. ;-P i'll just have to try and find it on the menus later on today.

the trip is going well so far - my feet are killing me today!!! it's hot and humid. not done any night shooting yet. we're too far away from disney i'm afraid altho i'm right next door to universal so i might try shooting night scenes there one night.

thanks
