The new Custom Functions provided by the EOS ELAN 7 E / EOS 30 are described
below.
[C.Fn-7: AF-assist light emission / Main flash firing]
This enables/disables the AF-assist light emitted by the built-in flash or external,
EOS-dedicated Speedlite. It also enables/disables the main flash from firing. It is
useful during a joint photo session when your AF-assist light would bother the
other photographers shooting the same subject. This Custom Function is also
effective if you are using an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite and want to use the
AF-assist light but not fire any flash (which may be prohibited in museums, etc.).
C.Fn-7-1: The built-in flash or external Speedlite emits the AF-assist light and
fires the main flash.
C.Fn-7-2: The built-in flash does not emit the AF-assist light, but fires the main
flash.
The external Speedlite emits the AF-assist light and fires the main
flash.
C.Fn-7-3: The built-in flash or external Speedlite emits the AF-assist light and
does not fire the main flash.
[C.Fn-11: Focusing point selection method]
C.Fn-11-1: Regardless of the AF
mode, this setting
enables you to select
any focusing point
intuitively during
picture-taking. At
SW-1 ON or while
metering is still
active, you can select
the focusing point
directly with the
selection keys
without having to
press the focusing
point selector first.
C.Fn-11-2: This enables you to
select the focusing
point in the same way
as with the EOS-1V and EOS-3. After you press the focusing point
selector, you turn the Main Dial to select a horizontal focusing point
or turn the Quick Control Dial to select a vertical focusing point. If
you try to select a focusing point beyond the peripheral one,
automatic focusing point selection is set.
[C.Fn-12: The focusing point selector selects the center focusing point]
C.Fn-12-1: This enables the same function as the EOS-1V’s C.Fn-18-1 + Assist
button. By pressing the focusing point selector, you can switch to
the center focusing point. Unlike the EOS-1V, it cannot switch to
any other focusing point.
