3 Custom Function Settings C.Fn-15 Shutter curtain synchronization 0: 1st-curtain synchronization 1: 2nd-curtain synchronization By using a slow sync speed, you can create a light trail following a moving subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes. This Custom Function can be used to obtain 2nd-curtain sync effects even with EX-series Speedlites which do not have this feature. If an EX-series Speedlite having this feature is set for 2nd-curtain sync, it will override this Custom Function. C.Fn-16 Safety shift in Av or Tv Safety shift can be set for the shutter-priority AE and aperture-priority AE modes. 0: Disable 1: Enable If the subject's brightness changes suddenly and the current shutter-priority AE or aperture-priority AE setting becomes unsuitable, the shutter speed or aperture is shifted to obtain a suitable exposure automatically. C.Fn-17 AF point activation area 0: Single AF point 1: Expand (TTL. of 7 AF points) The AF point activation area expands by one point all around the manuallyselected AF point. A total of 7 AF points become active. This setting is effective for when only one manually-selected AF point is unable to focus track a subject moving erratically. 2: Automatic expand (max. 13) The camera automatically sets the AF point activation area to 7 or 13 points to suit the lens focal length and AF mode.This is effective when the subjectís movement is unpredictable. The AF point activation area centers on the selected AF point. Therefore, if a peripheral AF point is selected, the AF point activation area will be smaller as shown below. 7-point activation area 13-point activation area Selected AF point Activation area Setting C.Fn-13 will also expand the AF point activation area. 167

Custom Function Settings
C.Fn-15
Shutter curtain synchronization
0:
1st-curtain synchronization
1:
2nd-curtain synchronization
By using a slow sync speed, you can create a light trail following a moving
subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes. This Custom Function
can be used to obtain 2nd-curtain sync effects even with EX-series
Speedlites which do not have this feature. If an EX-series Speedlite having
this feature is set for 2nd-curtain sync, it will override this Custom Function.
C.Fn-16
Safety shift in Av or Tv
Safety shift can be set for the shutter-priority AE and aperture-priority AE modes.
0:
Disable
1:
Enable
If the subject’s brightness changes suddenly and the current shutter-priority
AE or aperture-priority AE setting becomes unsuitable, the shutter speed or
aperture is shifted to obtain a suitable exposure automatically.
C.Fn-17
AF point activation area
0:
Single AF point
1:
Expand (TTL. of 7 AF points)
The AF point activation area expands by one point all around the manually-
selected AF point. A total of 7 AF points become active. This setting is
effective for when only one manually-selected AF point is unable to focus
track a subject moving erratically.
2:
Automatic expand (max. 13)
The camera automatically sets the AF point activation area to 7 or 13 points
to suit the lens focal length and AF mode.This is effective when the subjectís
movement is unpredictable.
The AF point activation area centers on the selected AF point. Therefore, if a peripheral
AF point is selected, the AF point activation area will be smaller as shown below.
Setting C.Fn-13 will also expand the AF point activation area.
