For more details, refer to “Custom Function Settings” in the camera’s Instruction Manual. Disables the shooting modes O Click the shooting modes you do not want to use. O Unwanted shooting modes can be skipped while you are selecting the shooting mode. O This makes selecting the desired shooting mode faster.
Personal Function Settings Specifies the metering mode for manual exposure O Select the metering mode to be specified. O You can specify the metering mode to be used in the manual exposure mode. O When you set the manual exposure mode, the metering mode selected here will be set automatically. In the manual exposure mode, this enables you to use a metering mode different from the one used in the AE modes.
Personal Function Settings Sets the maximum and minimum apertures to be used O Select the maximum and minimum apertures from the list box. O For example, if you set 1.4 for the largest aperture and 8.0 for the smallest aperture, the usable aperture range will be f/1.4 to f/8.0. O You can better control the apertures used by setting the range of usable apertures. O Specify a minimum aperture value that is smaller than the maximum aperture setting.
Personal Function Settings Registering the Modes and Settings with the Camera ( 1 2 ) Set the shooting mode and shooting mode settings (aperture setting for aperture-priority AE mode). Then set the metering mode and exposure compensation amount. Register the modes and settings. O First press the < > button, then press the < > button.

By shifting the program, you can change the shutter speed or aperture and still retain the same exposure level.
Personal Function Settings Executes AI Servo AF continuous shooting giving priority to the drive speed O During continuous shooting, shutter release-priority takes effect instead of focus-priority. O Effective when it is more important to capture an image even though it might be slightly out of focus. O This function is compatible with the EOS-1D only.
Personal Function Settings Enables automatic shooting when focus is achieved at the fixed point of focus while the shutter button is pressed fully O This takes the picture automatically when the subject comes to the preset focusing distance. Focusing detection is performed using the selected AF point. O Set the lens focus mode switch to and focus manually at the desired point of focus. O Keep pressing the shutter button fully.
Personal Function Settings Enables automatic AF point selection when C.Fn-11-2 has been set O Enables the standard horizonal AF point selection together with automatic AF point selection with C.Fn-11-2.

O Convenient when you want to monitor the elapsed bulb exposure time. Taking bulb shots for long periods speeds up battery charge depletion and reduces the number of available shots.
Personal Function Settings Shortened release time lag O Normally, the shutter-release time lag is controlled for stability. This Personal Function eliminates this control. As a result, the shutter-release time lag can be reduced by as much as about 20 percent when the aperture needs to be stopped down by no more than 3 stops. O This is effective when a shorter shutter-release time lag is more important than a stable shutter-release time lag.
Personal Function Settings Enables Quick Control Dial switch to turn on/off Main Dial, too O Setting the Quick Control Dial switch to disables the Main and Quick Control Dials. O This function is compatible with the EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1D Mark II only. Enlargement mode O Select which part of an image is enlarged.
