A full complement of twenty-one Custom Functions with
fifty-seven settings is provided on the EOS 5D camera. Three
additions have been made to the functions provided by the
EOS 20D. C.Fn-00 must be set to match the installed
focusing screen (0-Ee-A, 1-Ee-D, 2-Ee-S). C.Fn-17-1 is used to
impr
ove subject acquisition performance when the center AF
point is selected in AI SERVO AF mode. (C.Fn-17-0 is the
Standard setting.) C.Fn-18, [LCD displ Return to shoot]
controls the way in which one is able to return instantly to shooting from menu viewing
or image playback. The choices are 0 [With Shutter Button Only] or 1 [Also with AE Lock
button, etc.], in which case all shooting controls will work instantly, even during menu
operation or image playback. This becomes particularly helpful when the camera is set
to Custom Function 4-1 or 4-3, in which AF is started by pressing the AE lock button.
Under the menu’s Setup tab, [Camera setting registration] allows users to store one set
of frequently used camera settings, both Shooting Settings and Menu Settings included.

dial to C. The following settings cannot be saved: time information, language,
communication setting, video output and those settings that cannot be reset to default
with the camera reset function.
