C.Fn-3 Flash Synchronization Speed in Av Mode
You can set the flash-sync speed for flash photography in the 
aperture-priority AE  mode.
0: Auto The flash sync speed is set autom atically within a range of 1/200 
sec. to 30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness. With an external 
Speedlite, high-speed sync will also be possible.
1:   1/200-1/60 sec. auto Prevents a slow shutter speed fr om being set in low-light 
conditions. It is effective for prev enting subject blur and camera 
shake. However, while the subjec t will be properly exposed with 
the flash, the background may come out dark.
2:   1/200 sec. (fixed) The flash-sync speed is fixed at 1/ 200 sec. This more effectively 
prevents subject blur and camera shake than with [ 1: 1/200-1/
60sec. auto ]. However, in low light, the subject’s background will 
come out darker than with [ 1: 1/200-1/60sec. auto].
When 1 or 2 is set, high-speed sync  cannot be used with an external 
Speedlite.

C.Fn II: Image
C.Fn-4 Long Exposure Noise Reduction
0:   Off
1:   Auto
For exposures of 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed 
automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This 
[Auto ] setting is effective in most cases.
2:   On Noise reduction is performed for al l exposures of 1 sec. or longer. 
The [ 2: On] setting may reduce noise that cannot be detected with 
the [1: Auto ] setting.
With settings 1 and 2, after the picture is taken, the noise reduction 
process may take the same amount of  time as the exposure. You cannot 
take another picture until the noise reduction process is completed.
 At ISO 1600 or higher, noise may be more pronounced with setting 2 
than with setting 0 or 1.
 With setting 1 or 2, if a long exposure is shot with the Live View image 
displayed, “ BUSY” will be displayed during the noise reduction process. 
The Live View display will not appear until the noise reduction is 
completed. (You cannot take another picture.)

C.Fn-5 High ISO speed noise reduction
This function reduces the noise generated in the image. Although 
noise reduction is applied at all ISO s peeds, it is particularly effective 
at high ISO speeds. At low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of 
the image (shadow areas) is further reduced. Change the setting to 
suit the noise level.
0: Standard 2: Strong
1: Low 3: Disable
C.Fn-6 Highlight tone priority
0:   Disable
1:   Enable Improves the highlight detail.  The dynamic range is expanded from 
the standard 18% gray to bright highlights. The gradation between 
the grays and highlights becomes smoother.
 With setting 2, the maximum burst dur ing continuous shooting will greatly 
decrease. Also, the continuous shooting speed may be slower.
 If you play back or directly print a  1 or 1 +73  image with the 
camera, the high ISO speed noise reduction effect may become smaller. 
Check the noise reduction effect or print noise-reduced images with 
Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.314).
 If you send RAW images to a smart phone, the high ISO speed noise 
reduction effect of saved images on the smartphone may become 
smaller. Therefore, if you shoot RAW images, setting the image-
recording quality to  1+73  is recommended.
With setting 1, the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.123) is automatically set to 
[Disable ] and the setting cannot be changed.
 With setting 1, noise (grainy image, banding, etc.) may become slightly 
more noticeable than with setting 0.
With setting 1, the ISO setting range will be ISO 200 - ISO 6400.
Also, the < A> icon will be displayed on the LCD monitor and in the 
viewfinder to indicate that highlight tone priority is enabled.

C.Fn III: Autofocus/Drive
C.Fn-7 AF-assist beam firing
Enables or disables the built-in flash’s AF-assist beam or the EOS-
dedicated external Speedlite’s AF-assist beam.
0: Enable
The AF-assist beam will be emitted when necessary.
1: Disable The AF-assist beam will not be emitted. This prevents the AF-
assist beam from disturbing others.
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
When an external Speedlite is attached, only the infrared AF-assist 
beam will be emitted. This prev ents any Speedlite which uses a 
series of intermittent flashes (lik e the built-in flash) from emitting 
the AF-assist beam.
With an EX-series Speedlite equipped with an LED light, the LED 
light will not automatically turn on for AF-assist.
If an external Speedlite’s [ AF-assist beam firing] Custom Function is set 
to [ Disabled ], the Speedlite will not emit the AF-assist beam even if the 
camera’s C.Fn-7 is set to 0, 2, or 3.
