The flash sync speed is set automatically within a range of 30 sec. to 1/ 200 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness.

1:1/200sec. (fixed)

C.Fn-4 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-5 AF-assist beam

You can enable or disable the camera’s AF-assist beam or have it emitted by the EOS-dedicated Speedlite instead.

0:Emits

1:Does not emit

The AF-assist beam is not emitted at all regardless of the shooting conditions. This can prevent the AF-assist beam from disturbing another photographer’s shooting.

2:Only external flash emits

With an EOS-dedicated Speedlite, it will emit the AF-assist beam when necessary.
