type: C.Fn I: Exposure, C.Fn I1:Image, C.Fn II1:Autofocus/Drive, C.Fn
IV: Operation/Others.
0: 1/3-stop
1: 1/2-stop
Sets 1/2-stop increments for the shutter speed, aperture, exposure
compensation, AEB, flash exposure compensation, etc. This is
effective when you prefer to control the exposure in less fine
increments than 1/3-stop increments.
J_ With setting 1,the exposurelevel will bedisplayed inthe viewfinder and on
the LCD monitor as shown below.
=@ =,p_= o=
0: Off
1: On
When you set the ISO speed, you will be able to set "H"
(equivalent to ISO 25600) for still photos and "H" (equivalent to
ISO 12800) for movies. Note that if [C.Fn-3: Highlight tone
priority] is set to [1: Enable], "H" cannot be set.

Custom Function Settings *
0: Disable
1:Enable
Improves the highlight detail. The dynamic range is expanded from
the standard 18% gray to bright highlights. The gradation between
the grays and highlights becomes smoother.
, With setting 1,the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.130) is automatically set to
[Disable] and the setting cannot be changed.
With setting 1, noise (grainy image, banding, etc.) may become slightly
more pronounced than with setting 0.
[_] With setting 1, the settable range will be ISO 200 - ISO 12800 (up to ISO
6400 for movies).
Also, the <D+> icon will be displayed on the LCD monitor and in the
viewfinder when highlight tone priority is enabled.
301

Custom Function Settings*
Enables or disables the built-in flash's AF-assist beam or the EOS-
dedicated external Speedlite's AF-assist beam.
0: Enable
The AF-assist beam will be emitted when necessary.
1: Disable
The AF-assist beam is not emitted. This prevents the AF-assist
beam from disturbing others.
2: Enable external flash only
If an external Speedlite is attached, it will emit the AF-assist beam
when necessary. The camera's built-in flash will not fire the AF-
assist beam.
3: IR AF assist beam only
When an external Speedlite is attached, only with infrared AF-
assist beam will be emitted. This prevents the AF-assist beam
from firing as a burst of small flashes.
With an EX-series Speedlite equipped with an LED light, the LED
light will not automatically turn on for AF-assist.
Ifthe external Speedlite's[AF-assist beam firing] Custom Functionis set
to [Disable], this function's settingwill be overridden andthe AF-assist
beam wilt notbe emitted.
0: Disable
1: Enable
Prevents mechanical vibrations in the camera caused by the reflex
mirror action (mirror shock), which can disturb shooting with super
telephoto lenses or close-up (macro) shooting. See page 147 for
the mirror Iockup procedure.
302

Custom Function Settings *
0: AF/AE lock
1: AE Iock/AF
This is convenient when you want to focus and meter separately.
Press the <-X-> button to autofocus, and press the shutter button
halfway to apply AE lock.
2: AF/AF lock, no AE lock
In the AI Servo AF operation, you can press the <-X-> button to
pause the AF operation momentarily. This prevents the AF from
being thrown off by any obstacle passing between the camera and
subject. The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
3: AE/AF, no AE lock
This is useful for subjects that keep moving and stopping
repeatedly. During AI Servo AF, you can press the <-X-> button to
start or stop the AI Servo AF operation. The exposure is set at the
moment the picture is taken. Thus, the optimum focusing and
exposure will always be achieved as you wait for the decisive
moment.

Remote Control Shooting
This remote controller enables you to take pictures wirelessly up to
approx. 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. You can either shoot
immediately or use a 2-sec. delay.
Remote control
Set the self-timer to <_®> (p.110).
Point the remote controller toward the camera's remote control
sensor and press the transmit button.
The camera will autofocus.
When focus is achieved, the self-timer lamp will light up and the
picture will be taken.
Fluorescent or LED lighting may cause camera misoperation by triggering
the shutter inadvertently. Try to keep the camera away from such light
sources.
Remote Controller RC-I/RC-5 (sold separately) can also be used.
Remote control shooting is also possible with an EX-series Speedlite
equipped with a remote-release function.
The Remote Controller can also be used during movie shooting (p.181).
Remote Controller RC-5 cannot be used to take still photos in the movie
shooting mode. 309

Remote Control Shooting
Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately) comes with an approx. 60
cm/2.0 ft cord. When connected to the camera's remote control
terminal, it can be pressed halfway and completely, just like the shutter
button.
When you use the self-timer, bulb, or Remote Switch and do not look
through the viewfinder, stray light entering the viewfinder can cause the
image to look dark. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover (p.29)
attached to the camera strap.
During Live View shooting and movie shooting, attaching the
eyepiece cover is unnecessary.
Detach the eyecup.
Push the bottom of the eyecup to
detach.
Attach the eyepiece cover.
Slide the eyepiece cover down into
the eyepiece groove to attach it.

Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation,
When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the
camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other
words, it is like a high-output flash attached externally in place of the
built-in flash.
For detailed instructions, refer to the EX-series Speedlite's
instruction manual, This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all
the features of EX-series Speedlites.
Shoe-mount Speedlites Macro Lites
[_] With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings
(p.233), only [Flash exposure compensation] can be set for [External
flash func. setting]. (]Shutter synchronization] can also be set with
certain EX-series Speedlites.)
If flash exposure compensation isset with the external Speedlite, the
flash exposure compensation icon displayed on the camera's LCD
monitor wilt change from _ to _=_.
If the external Speedlite's Custom Function has the flash metering mode
set to TTL autoflash, the flash will fire at full output only.
311

External Speedlites
With an EZIEIEGIMLITL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL
autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only,
Set the camera's shooting mode to <i> (manual exposure) or
<AM> (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before
shooting.
When using a Speedlite that has manual flash mode, shoot in the
manual flash mode.
Sync Speed
The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at
1/200 sec. or slower shutter speeds.
Use a sync speed slower than 1/200 sec.
Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes
properly with the camera.
Cautions for Live View Shooting
Anon-Canon flash will not fire during Live View shooting.
lh If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to
another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and
malfunction may result.
, Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera's hot shoe. It may
not fire.
