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.

the LCD monitor as shown below.
=@ =,p_= o=
0: Off

(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.

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.

thetouch shutter will take apicture without autofocusing.
