P.Fn-05 Sets the maximum and minimum apertures to be used O Select the maximum and minimum apertures from the list box. For example, if you set 1.4 for the largest aperture (minimum f/ number) and 8.0 for the smallest aperture (maximum f/number), the usable aperture range will be f/1.4 to f/8.0. O You can better control the apertures used by setting the range of usable apertures. O If you set the maximum and/or minimum aperture to one that is not a full-stop increment (such as f/4.5), the controllable and settable aperture range might not be as exact as you set it (A slight deviation may occur.). This applies if you also set Custom Function C.Fn-6-1 or C.Fn-6-2 and set the maximum and/or minimum aperture to one that is not a full-stop increment (such as f/6.3). O If the largest aperture of the attached lens is smaller than the largest aperture you set with P.Fn-05, the largest aperture will be set to the lens' largest aperture. And if the largest aperture of the attached lens is smaller than the smallest aperture you set with P.Fn-05, the aperture will be set and fixed to the lens' largest aperture. O If safety shift has been enabled (with C.Fn-16), it will override P.Fn-05's aperture range.

slight deviation may occur.). This applies if you also set Custom
Function C.Fn-6-1 or C.Fn-6-2 and set the maximum and/or
minimum aperture to one that is not a full-stop increment (such as
f/6.3).
O
If the largest aperture of the attached lens is smaller than the
largest aperture you set with P.Fn-05, the largest aperture will be
set to the lens’ largest aperture. And if the largest aperture of the
attached lens is smaller than the smallest aperture you set with
P.Fn-05, the aperture will be set and fixed to the lens’ largest
aperture.
