Custom Functions are organized into four groups based on the function 
type: C.Fn I: Exposure, C.Fn II: Image,  C.Fn III: Auto focus/Drive, C.Fn 
IV: Operation/Others.
3 Custom Function Settings N
C.Fn I: Exposure
C.Fn-1 Exposure level increments
0: 1/3-stop
1: 1/2-stop
Sets 1/2-stop increments for the  shutter speed, aperture, exposure 
compensation, AEB, flash exposure  compensation, etc. Effective when 
you prefer to control the exposure in  less fine increments than 1/3-stop 
increments.
C.Fn-2 ISO expansion
0: Off
1: On
Enables ISO 6400 and H (equivale nt to ISO 12800) to be set.
C.Fn-3 Flash sync. speed in Av  (Aperture-priority AE) mode
0: Auto
The flash sync speed is set automatic ally within a range of 1/200 sec. to 
30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness.
1: 1/200-1/60 sec. auto When flash is used with  aperture-priority AE (f), this prevents a slow 
flash-sync speed from being set automat ically in low-light conditions. 
It is effective for preventing subjec t blur and camera shake. However, 
while the subject will be properly ex posed with the flash, the background 
will come out dark.
2: 1/200 sec. (fixed)
The flash-sync speed is fixed to 1/ 200 sec. This more effectively 
prevents subject blur and camera shake than with setting 1. However, 
the background will come out  darker than with setting 1.
The exposure level will be displaye d in the viewfinder and on the LCD 
monitor as shown below.

C.Fn II: Image
C.Fn-4 Long exposure noise reduction
0: Off
1: Auto
For 1 sec. or longer exposure s, noise reduction is performed 
automatically if noise typical of lo ng exposures is detected. This [Auto] 
setting is effective in most cases.
2: On Noise reduction is performed for all ex posures of 1 sec. or longer. The 
[ On ] setting may be effective for no ise that cannot be detected or 
reduced with the [Auto ] setting.
C.Fn-5 High ISO speed noise reduction
Reduces the noise generated in the  image. Although noise reduction is 
applied at all ISO speeds, it is particul arly effective at high ISO speeds. At 
low ISO speeds, the noise in the shad ow areas is further reduced. Change 
the setting to suit the noise level.
0: Standard
1: Low
2: Strong
3: Disable
  After the picture is taken, the noise  reduction process may take the same 
amount of time as the exposure. Yo u cannot take another picture until 
the noise reduction pr ocess is completed.
  At ISO 1600 and higher, noise migh t be more pronounced at the 2 
setting than at the 0 or 1 setting.
  With setting 2, if a long  exposure is used during Live View shooting, 
“ BUSY” will be displayed and the Live Vi ew display will not appear untill 
the noise reduction process is comp leted. (You cannot take another 
picture.)
With setting 2, the maximum burst fo r continuous shooting will decrease.
