C.Fn II -10 Orientation linked AF point
You can set the AF point or the AF area selection mode + AF point 
separately for vertical shooting and horizontal shooting.
0: Same for both vertical/horizontalThe same AF area selection mode and manually-selected AF 
point (or zone) are used for both  vertical shooting and horizontal 
shooting.
1: Separate AF pts: Area+ptThe AF area selection mode and AF point (or zone) can be set 
separately for each camera orientat ion (1. Horizontal, 2. Vertical 
with the camera grip at the top, 3. Vertical with the camera grip at 
the bottom).
When you manually select the AF area selection mode and AF 
point (or zone) for each of the thr ee camera orientations, they will 
be registered for the respective  orientation. Whenever you change 
the camera orientation during shoot ing, the camera will switch to 
the AF area selection mode and  manually-selected AF point (or 
zone) set for that orientation.
2: Separate AF pts: Pt onlyThe AF point can be set separately for each camera orientation (1. 
Horizontal, 2. Vertical with the c amera grip at the top, 3. Vertical 
with the camera grip at the bottom). While using the same AF area 
selection mode, the AF point will switch automatically for the 
respective camera orientation.
When you manually select the AF point for each of the three 
camera orientations, it will be registered for the respective 
orientation. During shooting, the AF point will switch to the 
manually-selected one depending on t he camera orientation. Even 
if you change the AF area selection mode to Manual selection:1 pt 
AF, the AF point set for the respective orientation will be retained.
If you change the AF area selection mode to Zone AF (manual 
selection of zone) or Large Zone AF (manual selection of zone), 
the zone will switch to t he manually-selected one depending on 
the camera orientation.
If you set this and later attach a lens from a different AF group (p.128-131, 
particularly Group H), the setting may be cleared.

C.Fn II -12 Auto AF point selection: Color Tracking
Use this function to autofocus by re cognizing colors equivalent to skin 
tones. This function works when the AF area selection mode is set to 
Zone AF (manual selection of zone), Large Zone AF (manual selection

information and information on colors equivalent to skin tones.
In One-Shot AF mode, focusing on a still human subject in the AF 
area is made easier.
In AI Servo AF mode, focusing on a human subject in the AF area 
is made easier. If no skin tones  can be detected, the nearest 
subject will be focused on. Once fo cus is achieved, AF points are 
automatically selected so that the camera continues to focus on 
the color of the area it focused on first.
1: DisableAF points are automatically selected based only on AF information.
When [ 2: Manual  S AF pt] is set, AI Servo AF will start with the zone that 
corresponds to the manually selected AF point, even if you switch AF area
