P.Fn-21Enables quiet operation when the shutter button is OFF after picture-taking

OWhen single shooting is selected, this function selects quiet camera operation when you release the shutter button from the fully pressed position to the half way position.

OThis is useful when the camera operation noise would be disturbing after you take the picture.

If you select continuous shooting, the camera operates normally.

Setting mirror lockup with C.Fn-12 will further reduce the shooting noise.

P.Fn-23Changes the timer’s time length

OAfter you press and release a button, the respective function remains active for a specific number of seconds. You can change this number of seconds as necessary.

OThe function’s activation time can be set from 0 to 3600 sec. (1 hour).

OIf the standard activation time is too short or too long, you can adjust it.

O LCD panel illumination time after the picture is taken.

 

 

 

 

Note that if you set a longer activation time, the battery become exhausted more quickly and the number of possible shots will be reduced.

To turn off the function’s activation time midway, press the < > button, < >

button or < > button.

P.Fn-24Illuminates the LCD panel during bulb exposures

OAfter the bulb exposure starts, press the <LCD panel illumination> button to illuminate the LCD panel until the bulb exposure ends.

OConvenient when you want to monitor the elapsed bulb exposure time.

Note that if you take bulb shots for long periods, the battery becomes exhausted more quickly and the number of possible shots will be reduced.

P.Fn-25Sets the default settings when the <CLEAR> button is ON

OYou can use this function to select the default settings when you press the <CLEAR> button.

OConvenient when you want to instantly switch to frequently-used settings.

P.Fn-26Shortened release time lag

OThis function is compatible with the EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1D Mark II.

ONormally, 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.

OThis is effective when a shorter shutter-release time lag is more important than a stable shutter-release time lag.

Since the difference is in 10-millisecond increments, the time lag may not feel any shorter.

P.Fn-27Enables the electronic dial’s function to be used in the reverse direction

OThe electronic dial’s rotational function can be reversed for selecting the AF point and setting the shutter speed and aperture.

OBy matching the dial’s rotation direction to the particular operation, the operation can feel more intuitive.

When the Main Dial’s rotational function is reversed, the horizontal AF point selection direction does not change.

P.Fn-28Prevents exposure compensation with the Quick Control Dial

OThe Quick Control Dial cannot be used to set exposure compensation.

OThis prevents exposure compensation from being set accidentally while the AF point is being selected.
