Here is an IQ Question! How to make an "18 Point" new AF system with symmetry? What is the possible layout??
If anyone can make it, please let us know! Otherwise, the previous rumour is fake, at least for the design and features of the specs on the AF part that were told (being have the "Portrait" and "Night" AF-*C* modes is just a JOKE!). In fact, it is just impossible to draft such a layout, which is actually non-existent, unless the layout is not symmetric or there is no central AF point in the dead centre!! :-o
N.B. Please note that having 18 crossed line AF sensors is NOT the same as an 18-point AF system!!
