5-16Personal Function SettingsP.Fn-16P.Fn-17Enables automatic shooting when focus is achieved at thefixed point of focus while the shutter button is pressed fully.● This takes the picture automatically when the subject comes to the preset focusingdistance. Focusing detection is performed using the selected AF point.● Set the lens focus mode switch to MF (or M) and focus manually at the desired point of focus.● Keep pressing the shutter button fully.● Using an accessory like Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter buttonrelieves you from holding down the shutter button while you wait for the subject.● 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 DCCoupler Kit.● When this function is used in combination with a flash, the flash remains on standbyat full charge. Consequently, the flash batteries are used up more quickly. (TheSpeedlite’s SE mode is disabled.)● When you use a flash with this function, set the drive mode to single-frameshooting. If you select continuous shooting, the flash will be unable to charge intime for successive shots and will not fire at full charge.● If you set the drive mode to continuous shooting, set the number of shots inP.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 CF card is reached.● P.Fn-16 cannot be used with manual focus lenses or with lenses that are too slowto be used with autofocusing.● Do not use this function when C.Fn-4-1/3 is set as shots will be taken regardless ofwhether the image is in focus.Using an accessory like Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter buttonis recommended.Disables automatic AF point selection.● During manual AF point selection, if you try to select an AF point beyond a peripheral AFpoint, the camera normally switches to automatic AF point selection. This PersonalFunction prevents this.● When you select beyond the peripheral AF point, the selection stops there. It makesselecting a peripheral AF point faster.● If C.Fn-11-2 has been set, you can still switch to automatic AF point selection bypressing the < > button during autofocusing. (➞ “AF Point Selection” in theEOS-1D Instructions)● If automatic AF point selection has been preset at [AF frame registration] setting,the preset setting remains valid.
