P.Fn-14Disables focus detection (search driving) by the lens drive

ONormally, when you press the shutter button halfway and focus cannot be achieved, the lens is driven to search the correct focus. This lens driving operation can be turned off.

OWhen focus has been achieved once and refocusing fails, the subsequent lens driving operation can result in grossly out of focus. This subsequent lens driving operation is turned off. P.Fn-14 is especially suited for super telephoto lenses.

If autofocusing is attempted while the lens is way out of focus, the lens may stop operating. Focus manually until the subject outline becomes discernable, then autofocus.

P.Fn-15Disables the AF-assist beam from being emitted

OThis disables the external Speedlite’s built-in AF-assist beam.

OAt a joint photo session, etc., this prevents the AF-assist beam’s pattern projected on the subject from being photographed by other photographers.

P.Fn-16Enables automatic shooting when focus is achieved at the fixed point of focus while the shutter button is pressed fully

OThis takes the picture automatically when the subject comes to the preset focusing distance. Focusing detection is performed using the selected AF point.

OSet the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually at the desired point of focus.

OKeep pressing the shutter button fully.

OUsing an accessory such as Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter button relieves you from holding down the shutter button while you wait for the subject.

O Because the camera remains on standby while the shutter button is fully pressed, battery power is used up more quickly. For long periods of photography, use the DC Coupler Kit supplied with the camera.

OWhen this function is used in combination with a flash, the flash remains on standby at full charge. Consequently, the flash batteries are used up more quickly. (The Speedlite’s SE mode is disabled.)

OWhen you use a flash with this function, set the drive mode to single shooting. If you select continuous shooting, the flash will be unable to charge in time for successive shots and will not fire at full charge.

OIf you set the drive mode to continuous shooting, set the number of shots in P.Fn-20. If you do not use P.Fn-20, once the camera focuses on the subject, continuous shooting will continue until the capacity of the memory card is reached.

OP.Fn-16 cannot be used with manual focus lenses or with lenses that are too slow to be used with autofocusing.

ODo not use this function when C.Fn-4-1/3 is set as shots will be taken regardless of whether the image is in focus.

Using an accessory such as Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter button is recommended.

P.Fn-17Disables automatic AF point selection

OWhen you select beyond the peripheral AF point, the selection stops there. It makes selecting a peripheral AF point faster.

O If C.Fn-11-2 has been set, you can switch to automatic AF point selection by pressing the < > button during autofocusing. For more details, refer to “Selecting the AF Point” in the camera’s Instruction Manual supplied with the camera.

OIf automatic AF point selection has been preset at [AF frame registration] setting, the preset setting remains valid. For more details, refer to “Registering and Switching the AF Point” in the camera’s Instruction Manual supplied with the camera.

P.Fn-18Enables automatic AF point selection when C.Fn-11-2 has been set

OEnables the standard horizonal AF point selection together with automatic AF point selection with C.Fn-11-2.

OConvenient when you want to use automatic AF point selection while C.Fn-11-2 has been set.

If P.Fn-17 [Disables automatic AF point selection] has also been set, P.Fn-17 will override P.Fn-18 to disable automatic AF point selection.

P.Fn-19Sets the continuous shooting speed

OIn the list box, select the speed of continuous shots during continuous shooting.

OBy reducing the maximum continuous shooting speed, AI Servo AF continuous shooting can be more stable.

OWith the EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1Ds, only [Continuous Shooting] is displayed.

In AI Servo AF, it may not be possible to complete the selected speed of continuous shots.

P.Fn-20Limits the number of shots during continuous shooting

OThis enables you to enter the maximum number of shots to be exposed during continuous shooting while the shutter button is pressed fully.

OConvenient when you do not want to shoot an unwanted scene that follows.
