Limits the number of shots during continuous
shooting
O This enables you to enter the maximum number of shots to be
exposed during continuous shooting while the shutter button is
pressed fully.
O Convenient when you do not want to shoot an unwanted scene that
follows.
Enables quiet operation when the shutter button
is OFF after picture-taking
O When 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.
O This is useful when the camera operation noise would be disturbing
after you take the picture.
Changes the timer’s time length
O After 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.
O The function’s activation time can be set from 0 to 3600 sec. (1 hour).
O
If the standard activation time is too short or too long, you can adjust it.
If you select continuous shooting, the camera operates normally.
Setting mirror lockup with C.Fn-12 will further reduce the shooting
noise.
6 sec. timer
O AE lock time after you press the shutter button
halfway or the < > button.
16 sec. timer O FE lock time after you press the < > button.
Post-shutter
release timer

Illuminates the LCD panel during bulb exposures
O After the bulb exposure starts, press the < LCD panel illumination >
button to illuminate the LCD panel until the bulb exposure ends.
O Convenient when you want to monitor the elapsed bulb exposure
time.
Sets the default settings when the < CLEAR >
button is ON
O You can use this function to select the default settings when you press
the < CLEAR > button.
O Convenient when you want to instantly switch to frequently-used
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.
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.
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.
Since the difference is in 10-millisecond increments, the time lag
may not feel any shorter.
