This makes it easier to change the aperture during studio sessions with
studio flash units. Also, when AEB is used in the manual exposure mode,
the shutter speed can be fixed while only the aperture is shifted for AE\
B.
If you are using a super telephoto lens with more than one EOS-3 body,
you can still set the aperture with the camera(s) not attached to the \
lens.
This function is mainly for pro photographer assistants.
Same as setting 2.

This is suited for slide films which have a narrow exposure latitude.
The shutter speed and aperture can be set in the familiar full-stop
increments.
Suited for negative films which have a wide exposure latitude.

This prevents the focus from being thrown off by inadvertent turning of \
the
focusing ring after One-Shot AF.
When this Custom Function is set to 0 or 1 and Custom Function CF-4 is
set to 1 or 3 (see page 122), the focusing ring can be used to focus
before AF operation. However, this is disabled with this setting.
* When this Custom Function is set to 1 or 2, you must first set the lens
focus switch to  MF(or M) to focus manually.
You can see how many frames are left in the roll. 64

Remarks Page
AEB is not canceled even when the lens is interchanged or when the film
is replaced. Therefore you can keep taking AEB shots (with the standard\
exposure first).
You can keep taking AEB shots in this sequence.
This applies during manual focusing point selection and Eye-Control AF.
During automatic focusing point selection, the focusing point does not
light dimly after focus is achieved.
If the flashing of the focusing point is annoying, you can disable it.
This disables the focusing point from lighting dimly after focus is
achieved.
This makes the focusing point easier to see even in bright light. 78

Remarks Page
The functions of the < > button and < > button are reversed. This
makes the exposure compensation method and aperture setting method
(during manual exposure) the same as with the EOS-1.
This setting is identical to the EOS-1N’s Custom Function CF-11 set t\
o 2
for the left or right focusing point selection method. With this setting\
, you
can select the focusing point while pressing the shutter button halfway \
(or
within ( )after releasing the shutter button) or during continuous
shooting in the AI Servo AF mode. The focusing point selection stops at
the extreme left or right focusing point.
• During autofocusing, pressing the < > button switches the focusing
point selection mode from manual to automatic. This is convenient
when you want to switch quickly to automatic focusing point selection.
This reverses the functions between the < > button and < > button.
The button next to the AE lock button then functions as an < > button.
Effective for close-up shots and with super telephoto lenses. Mirror loc\
kup
eliminates camera vibration caused by the mirror’s reflex action. A t\
ripod
is required.

Remarks Page
The selectable focusing points are limited to 11. This makes focusing
point selection faster and links spot metering to the focusing point you\
select. This setting is effective for spotlighted subjects on-stage, etc\
.,
when you want to maintain the framing of the subject.
Compared to setting 0, this setting makes focusing point selection faste\
r.
(When automatic focusing point selection is used with settings 1 and 2,\
 all
45 focusing points will be subject to automatic selection.)
Natural-looking fill-in flash effects are obtained automatically.
Preventing automatic reduction of flash output is effective for backlit
subjects in front of a sunset, etc., to prevent underexposure of the
subject.
By using a slow sync speed, you can create a light trail following a mov\
ing
subject.
This setting is convenient if your EX-series Speedlite does not have a
second-curtain synchronization feature. If your EX-series Speedlite is s\
et
for second-curtain synchronization, it will override the C.Fn-15’s se\
tting. 56
