Clicking the [Load settings] button acquires the settings with the Personal Function settings on the camera. Clicking the [Reset] button removes all the check marks from the windows.
Personal Function Settings Description of Personal Functions The shown in this section provides brief descriptions of the Custom Function Settings for the respective camera functions. For more details, refer to “Custom Function Settings” in the camera’s Instruction Manual. Disables the shooting modes Click the shooting modes you do not want to use. Unwanted shooting modes can be skipped while you are selecting the shooting mode. This makes selecting the desired shooting mode faster.
Personal Function Settings Specifies the metering mode for manual exposure Select the metering mode to be specified. You can specify the metering mode to be used in the manual exposure mode. When you set the manual exposure mode, the metering mode selected here will be set automatically. In the manual exposure mode, this enables you to use a metering mode different from the one used in the AE modes.
Personal Function Settings Sets the maximum and minimum apertures to be used Select the maximum and minimum apertures from the list box. For example, if you set 1.4 for the largest aperture and 8.0 for the smallest aperture, the usable aperture range will be f/1.4 to f/8.0. You can better control the apertures used by setting the range of usable apertures. Specify a minimum aperture value that is smaller than the maximum aperture setting.
Personal Function Settings Registering the Modes and Settings with the Camera ( 1 2 ) Set the shooting mode and shooting mode settings (aperture setting for aperture-priority AE mode). Then set the metering mode and exposure compensation amount. Register the modes and settings. First press the < > button, then press the < > button. M < > appears in the LCD panel, indicating that the modes and settings have registered. The registered modes and settings can be modified any number of times.
Personal Function Settings Repeats bracketing during continuous shooting While you hold down the shutter button, bracketing repeats continuously in the currently selected drive mode. This function is useful when you want to continuously repeat the bracketing sequence. Sets the number of shots to be bracketed Select the number of shots from the list box. The usual 3-frame bracketing is changed to 2-, 3-, 5-, or 7-frame bracketing.
Personal Function Settings Retains the shift amount for program shift Normally, any program shift amount is canceled after you take the picture. This Personal Function retains the program shift amount. This function is useful when you want to shift the standard program line so that priority is given to the shutter speed or to the aperture. By shifting the program, you can change the shutter speed or aperture and still retain the same exposure level.
Personal Function Settings Disables focus detection (search driving) by the lens drive Normally, 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. When focus has been achieved once and refocusing fails, the subsequent lens driving operation can result in grossly inaccurate focus. This subsequent lens driving operation is turned off. P.
Personal Function Settings Enables automatic shooting when focus is achieved at the fixed point of focus while the shutter button is pressed fully This takes the picture automatically when the subject comes to the preset focusing distance. Focusing detection is performed using the selected AF point. Set the lens focus mode switch to and focus manually at the desired point of focus. Keep pressing the shutter button fully.
Personal Function Settings Enables automatic AF point selection when C.Fn-11-2 has been set Enables the standard horizonal AF point selection together with automatic AF point selection with C.Fn-11-2. Convenient 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.
Personal Function Settings Enables quiet operation when the shutter button is OFF after picture-taking When single-frame 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. This is useful when the camera operation noise would be disturbing after you take the picture. If you select continuous shooting, the camera operates normally. M Setting mirror lockup with C.
Personal Function Settings Illuminates the LCD panel during bulb exposures After the bulb exposure starts, press the button to illuminate the LCD panel until the bulb exposure ends. Convenient when you want to monitor the elapsed bulb exposure time. Taking bulb shots for long periods speeds up battery charge depletion and reduces the number of available shots.
Personal Function Settings Shortened release time lag 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. This is effective when a shorter shutter-release time lag is more important than a stable shutter-release time lag.
Personal Function Settings Add original decision data The data that shows whether or not the image is the original one can be added to the image. When selecting the display format of Shooting information (INFO), the icon showing the captured image with Original image verification data is displayed.
