Information in the "CameraInfo" records is tricky to decode because the encodings are very different than in other Canon records (even sometimes switching endianness between values within a single camera), plus there is considerable variation in format from model to model. The first table below lists CameraInfo tags for the 1D and 1DS.

Auto-focus information used by many older Canon models. The values in this record are sequential, and some have variable sizes based on the value of NumAFPoints (which may be 1,5,7,9,15,45 or 53). The AFArea coordinates are given in a system where the image has dimensions given by AFImageWidth and AFImageHeight, and 0,0 is the image center. The direction of the Y axis depends on the camera model, with positive Y upwards for EOS models, but apparently downwards for PowerShot models.
