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.
O This function is compatible with the EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1D Mark II only.
Enables the electronic dial’s function to be used in the reverse
direction
O The electronic dial’s rotational function can be reversed for selecting the AF point and
setting the shutter speed and aperture.
O By matching the dial’s rotation direction to the particular operation, the operation can feel
more intuitive.
Prevents exposure compensation with the Quick Control Dial
O The Quick Control Dial cannot be used to set exposure compensation.
O This prevents exposure compensation from being set accidentally while the AF point is
being selected.
Since the difference is in 10-millisecond increments, the time lag may not feel any
shorter.
When the main dial’s rotational function is reversed, the horizontal AF point selection
direction does not change.
