Problems
Complaints from users came on, after which the autofocus in SERVO AF ( focus tracking of moving objects ), was significantly less accurate than the previous model 1D Mark II N Canon first reacted with firmware updates, but without much success. Some time later it was announced that the auto focus assist Mirror has malfunctioned. Canon offered from December 2007 to a free repair program. The fact that the problems were not so definitively resolved is a publication of the Canon Professional Service in March 2009, nearly two years after the introduction of the camera.
