Settings
C. Fn IV –10, [Button function when Quick Control Dial <OFF>],
is an expanded version of P. Fn-30. When [1: Disable Main
Dial/Quick Control Dial, Multi- controller] is set and the power
switch is set to ON, the Main Dial, Quick Control Dial and
Multi-Controller will not be able to change any settings. This
prevents accidental changing of the settings. The function is
very convenient and eliminates a source of anxiety for many photographers who shoot
in chaotic conditions.
Registering Custom Function settings works the same way
as the EOS-1D Mark II
N
's P. Fn-00. With [C. Fn setting register/
apply], you can register up to three sets of Custom Function
settings in the camera. You can use each set suiting a specific
genre of shooting such as sports, landscapes and so forth.
When you apply a set of Custom Function settings, the
camera's Custom Function settings will change instantly accordingly. Note that C. Fn III -7
[AF Micro-adjustment] and C. Fn IV -11 [Focusing Screen] settings will not be included in
the registered Custom Function settings.
[Save camera settings to media] is an expanded version of
the EOS-1D Mark II
N
's [Save camera settings] function. Up
to 10 sets of camera settings can now be saved to one
recording medium. With [Save/ load setting on media], the
camera's current settings can be saved as a file to a memory
card. When this file is read, the camera will be set to the
file's saved camera settings. The same file can be read by multiple EOS-1D Mark III
cameras or you can use different camera settings for different shooting situations. The
date/time, language, video output format settings, C. Fn III-7 and C. Fn IV-11 are not
saved and included.
[Register basic camera settings] is an expanded version of P.
Fn-25, [Sets the default settings when the CLEAR button is
ON]. With [Regist/load basic settings], you can register basic
settings such as the shooting mode, metering mode, and
drive mode in the camera. When these settings are applied,
the camera settings will switch to the registered settings.
This is convenient when you often have to switch camera settings instantly to suit a
particular shooting situation. The following settings can be registered: Shooting mode,
white balance, drive mode, metering mode, AF mode, AF point, color space, image size,
and Picture Style (9 settings).
