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 MF (or M) and focus manually at the desired point of focus.
●
Keep pressing the shutter button fully.
●
Using an accessory like Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter button
relieves you from holding down the shutter button while you wait for the subject.
●
Because the camera remains on standby while the shutter button is fully pressed,
battery power is used up more quickly. For long periods of photography, use the DC
Coupler Kit.
●
When this function is used in combination with a flash, the flash remains on standby
at full charge. Consequently, the flash batteries are used up more quickly. (The
Speedlite’s SE mode is disabled.)
●
When you use a flash with this function, set the drive mode to single-frame
shooting. If you select continuous shooting, the flash will be unable to charge in
time for successive shots and will not fire at full charge.
●
If you set the drive mode to continuous shooting, set the number of shots in
P.Fn-20. If you do not use P.Fn-20, once the camera focuses on the subject,
continuous shooting will continue until the capacity of the CF card is reached.
●
P.Fn-16 cannot be used with manual focus lenses or with lenses that are too slow
to be used with autofocusing.
●
Do not use this function when C.Fn-4-1/3 is set as shots will be taken regardless of
whether the image is in focus.
Using an accessory like Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter button
is recommended.
Disables automatic AF point selection
●
During manual AF point selection, if you try to select an AF point beyond a peripheral AF
point, the camera normally switches to automatic AF point selection. This Personal
Function prevents this.
●
When you select beyond the peripheral AF point, the selection stops there. It makes
selecting a peripheral AF point faster.
●
If C.Fn-11-2 has been set, you can switch to automatic AF point selection by
pressing the < > button during autofocusing. (

EOS-1Ds Instructions)
●
If automatic AF point selection has been preset at [AF frame registration] setting,
the preset setting remains valid. (
