P.Fn-16 Enables automatic shooting when focus is achieved at the fixed point of focus while the shutter button is pressed fully O This takes the picture automatically when the subject comes to the preset focusing distance. Focusing detection is performed using the selected AF point. O Set the lens focus mode switch to < MF > and focus manually at the desired point of focus. O Keep pressing the shutter button fully. O Using an accessory such as Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter button relieves you from holding down the shutter button while you wait for the subject. O Because the camera remains on standby while the shutter button is fully pressed, battery power is used up more quickly. For long periods of photography, use the DC Coupler Kit provided with the camera. O When this function is used in combination with a flash, the flash remains on standby at full charge. Consequently, the flash batteries are used up more quickly. (The Speedlite's SE mode is disabled.) O When you use a flash with this function, set the drive mode to single shooting. If you select continuous shooting, the flash will be unable to charge in time for successive shots and will not fire at full charge. O If you set the drive mode to continuous shooting, set the number of shots in P.Fn-20. If you do not use P.Fn-20, once the camera focuses on the subject, continuous shooting will continue until the capacity of the memory card is reached. O P.Fn-16 cannot be used with manual focus lenses or with lenses that are too slow to be used with autofocusing. O Do not use this function when C.Fn-4-1/3 is set as shots will be taken regardless of whether the image is in focus. Using an accessory such as Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter button is recommended. P.Fn-17 Disables automatic AF point selection O When you select beyond the peripheral AF point, the selection stops there. It makes selecting a peripheral AF point faster. O If C.Fn-11-2 has been set, you can switch to automatic AF point selection by pressing the < > button during autofocusing. For more details, refer to "Selecting the AF Point" in the camera's Instruction Manual provided with the camera. O If automatic AF point selection has been preset at [AF frame registration] setting, the preset setting remains valid. For more details, refer to "Registering and Switching the AF Point" in the camera's Instruction Manual provided with the camera. P.Fn-18 Enables automatic AF point selection when C.Fn-11-2 has been set O Enables the standard horizontal AF point selection together with automatic AF point selection with C.Fn-11-2. O Convenient when you want to use automatic AF point selection while C.Fn-11-2 has been set. If P.Fn-17 [Disables automatic AF point selection] has also been set, P.Fn-17 will override P.Fn-18 to disable automatic AF point selection. P.Fn-19 Sets the continuous shooting speed O From the list box, select the speed of continuous shots. O By reducing the maximum continuous shooting speed, AI Servo AF continuous shooting can be more stable. O With the 1Ds Mk II 1Ds , only [Continuous Shooting] is displayed. In AI Servo AF, it may not be possible to complete the selected speed of continuous shots.
