Sets the maximum and minimum apertures to be
used
O Select the maximum and minimum apertures from the list box.
For example, if you set 1.4 for the largest aperture (minimum f/
number) and 8.0 for the smallest aperture (maximum f/number), the
usable aperture range will be f/1.4 to f/8.0.
O You can better control the apertures used by setting the range of
usable apertures.
Registers and switches the shooting mode and
metering mode
O Only while you press the < > button, you can switch to the preset
shooting mode, exposure setting (such as the aperture for aperture-
priority AE), metering mode, and exposure compensation amount.
O Select settings that are appropriate for each shooting mode.
O The modes and settings are preset with the camera.
O Convenient when you want to instantly select the preset modes and
settings to suit a particular shooting situation such as backlit or front-
lit conditions.
O If you set the maximum and/or minimum aperture to one that is
not a full-stop increment (such as f/4.5), the controllable and
settable aperture range might not be as exact as you set it (A
slight deviation may occur.). This applies if you also set Custom
Function C.Fn-6-1 or C.Fn-6-2 and set the maximum and/or
minimum aperture to one that is not a full-stop increment (such as
f/6.3).
O If the largest aperture of the attached lens is smaller than the
largest aperture you set with P.Fn-05, the largest aperture will be
set to the lens’ largest aperture. And if the largest aperture of the
attached lens is smaller than the smallest aperture you set with
P.Fn-05, the aperture will be set and fixed to the lens’ largest
aperture.
O If safety shift has been enabled (with C.Fn-16), it will override
P.Fn-05’s aperture range.
