Enables quiet operation when the shutter button is OFF after
picture-taking
O
When single 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.
O
This is useful when the camera operation noise would be disturbing after you take the
picture.
Changes the timer
’
s time length
O
After you press and release a button, the respective function remains active for a specific
number of seconds. You can change this number of seconds as necessary.
O
The function’s activation time can be set from 0 to 3600 sec. (1 hour).
O
If the standard activation time is too short or too long, you can adjust it.
Illuminates the LCD panel during bulb exposures
O
After the bulb exposure starts, press the <LCD panel illumination> button to illuminate the
LCD panel until the bulb exposure ends.
O
Convenient when you want to monitor the elapsed bulb exposure time.
If you select continuous shooting, the camera operates normally.
Setting mirror lockup with C.Fn-12 will further reduce the shooting noise.

this to a longer time can make it easier to shoot in the same
exposure with AE lock.
O
LCD panel illumination time after the picture is taken.
Note that if you set a longer activation time, the battery become exhausted more quickly
and the number of possible shots will be reduced.
To turn off the function’s activation time midway, press the <
> button, <

Sets the default settings when the <CLEAR> button is ON
O
You can use this function to select the default settings when you press the <CLEAR> button.
O
Convenient when you want to instantly switch to frequently-used settings.
Shortened release time lag
O
This function is compatible with the EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1D
Mark II.
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.
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.
