C.Fn III: Autofocus/Drive
C.Fn-4 AF-assist beam firing
The settings to specify whether or not  the AF-assist beam is emitted by the 
camera’s built-in flash or by an ex ternal, EOS-dedicated Speedlite can be 
set.
0: Enable
If necessary, the AF-assist beam will  be emitted by the built-in flash or 
external Speedlite.
1: Disable The AF-assist beam is not emitted.
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 Among external Speedlites, only thos e which have an infrared AF-assist 
beam will be able to emit the beam.  This prevents any Speedlite which 
uses a series of intermittent flashes (l ike the built-in flash) from firing the 
AF-assist beam.
With an EX-series Speedlite equip ped with an LED light, the LED light 
will not automatically turn on for AF-assist.
C.Fn-5 Mirror lockup
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 (ma cro) shooting. See page 140 for the 
mirror lockup procedure.
If the external Speedlite’s [ AF-assist beam firing] Custom Function is set 
to [Disabled ], the Speedlite will not emit th e AF-assist beam even if the 
camera’s C.Fn-4 is set to 0, 2, or 3.
