3Custom Function SettingsN

C.Fn-04 Shutter/AE lock button

0:AF/AE lock

1:AE lock/AF

Convenient when you want to focus and meter separately. Press the <A> button to autofocus and press the shutter button halfway to attain AE lock.

2:AF/AF lock, no AE lock

In the AI Servo AF mode, you can press the <A> button to stop the AF operation momentarily. This prevents the AF from being thrown off by any obstacle passing between the camera and subject. The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.

3:AE/AF, no AE lock

This is useful for subjects which keep moving and stopping repeatedly. In the AI Servo AF mode, you can press the <A> button to start or stop the AI Servo AF operation. The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. Thus, the focusing and exposure will always be at the optimum point as you wait for the decisive moment.

C.Fn-04 and C.Fn-19-0, 1, 2 (p.157) both have AF start/stop and AE lock functions. If you have set both these Custom Functions and you execute both Custom Function operations, the latter operation will not work. The only exception will be when AF stop is executed after AF start.

C.Fn-05 AF-assist beam

Enables or disables the EOS-dedicated Speedlite’s AF-assist beam.

0:Emits

The AF-assist beam is emitted when necessary.

1:Does not emit

C.Fn-06 Exposure level increments
