Custom Function Settings

Under the [

] tab, you can customize various camera features to suit your picture-taking preferences. Any settings different from the default will be displayed in blue.

C.Fn1: Exposure

Exposure level increments

1/3:1/3-stop

1/2:1/2-stop

Sets 1/2-stop increments for the shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, AEB, flash exposure compensation, etc. This is effective when you prefer to control the exposure in less fine increments than 1/3-stop.

When [

1/2-stop

] is set, the exposure level will be displayed as shown below.

ISO speed setting increments

1/3: 1/3-stop

1/1: 1-stop

You can change the manual ISO speed setting increments to 1stop.

Even if [

1/1

] is set, ISO speed will be automatically set in 1/3-stop increments when Auto ISO is set.

Bracketing auto cancel

ON: Enable

When you set the power switch to <

>, the AEB and white balance bracketing settings will be canceled. AEB will also be canceled when the flash is ready to fire or if you switch to movie shooting.

OFF: Disable

The AEB and white balance bracketing settings will not be canceled even if you set the power switch to <

2

>. (If the flash is ready to fire or if you switch to movie shooting, AEB will be canceled temporarily, but the AEB range will be retained.)

The AEB shooting sequence and white balance bracketing sequence can be changed.

Number of bracketed shots

The number of shots taken with AEB and white balance bracketing can be changed from the default, 3 shots, to 2, 5, or 7 shots.

When [

Safety shift

OFF: Disable

Tv/Av: Shutter speed/Aperture

This takes effect in the shutter-priority AE ( s

) and aperturepriority AE ( f

) modes. If the subject brightness changes and the standard exposure cannot be obtained within the autoexposure range, the camera will automatically change the manually-selected setting to obtain a standard exposure.

ISO: ISO speed

This works in the Program AE ( d

), shutter-priority AE ( s

), and aperture-priority AE ( f

) modes. If the subject brightness changes and the standard exposure cannot be obtained within the autoexposure range, the camera will automatically change the manually set ISO speed to obtain a standard exposure.

Under [ z

2: ISO speed settings

], even if [

ISO speed range

] or [

Min. shutter spd.

] is changed from the default setting, safety shift will override it if a standard exposure cannot be obtained.

The minimum and maximum ISO speeds of the safety shift using the ISO speed will be determined by the [

Auto ISO range

] setting (p.162).

However, if the manually set ISO speed exceeds the [

Auto ISO range

], the safety shift will take effect up or down to the manually set ISO speed.

Safety shift will take effect if necessary even when flash is used.

N

Same exposure for new aperture

If the < a

> mode (manual exposure shooting) is set and the ISO speed is set manually (other than Auto ISO or H (12800) is set), the maximum aperture’s f/number may change to a higher number

(smaller aperture) if you do any of the following: 1. Change the lens, 2.

Attach or detach an Extender, or 3. Use a zoom lens whose maximum aperture f/number changes. If you then shoot at the exposure setting as is, the image will be underexposed by the amount the maximum aperture f/number changes to a higher number. However, by changing the ISO speed or shutter speed (Tv) automatically, you can obtain the same exposure that would be obtained before you did 1, 2, or 3.

OFF: Disable

Automatic changes in settings to maintain the specified exposure will not be applied. The ISO speed, shutter speed, and aperture already set will be used for shooting. If you do 1, 2, or 3 and the maximum aperture f/number increases, adjust the ISO speed and shutter speed before you shoot.

ISO: ISO speed

If you do 1, 2, or 3, the ISO speed will automatically increase to compensate for the amount that the maximum aperture f/number increases by. The same exposure that would be obtained before you did 1, 2, or 3 is thereby obtained.

Tv: Shutter speed

If you do 1, 2, or 3, a slower shutter speed will automatically be set to compensate for the amount that the maximum aperture f/number increases by. The same exposure that would be obtained before you did 1, 2, or 3 is thereby obtained.

This function does not work with macro lenses whose actual aperture f/number changes when the magnification changes.

This function does not work with movies.

If [

ISO speed

] is set and the exposure cannot be maintained within the range set with [

ISO speed range

], the ISO speed will be automatically switched within the specified range.

If [

Shutter speed

] is set and the exposure cannot be maintained within the range set with [

8

2: Set shutter speed range

], the shutter speed will be automatically switched within the specified range.

If you do 1, 2, or 3 and the camera turns off (power switch is set to

<

2

>, etc.) while the exposure is being maintained, the standard exposure will be updated to the exposure at the moment the camera turns off.

This function also works with changes in the highest f/number (minimum aperture).

If you set [

ISO speed

] or [

Shutter speed

], do 1, 2, or 3, and then undo 1,

2, or 3 without manually changing the ISO speed, shutter speed, or aperture, so that the camera is back to its original state, the original exposure setting will be restored.

If [

ISO speed

] is set and the ISO speed increases to an expanded ISO speed, the shutter speed may change to maintain the exposure.

You can set it from f/91 to f/1.4.

Max. aperture (Min. f/)

You can set it from f/1.0 to f/64.

The settable aperture range will differ depending on the lens’s maximum and minimum apertures.

You can assign often-used functions to camera buttons or dials

according to your preferences. For details, see page 413.

Add cropping information

If you set cropping information, vertical lines for the aspect ratio you have set will appear on the Live View image. You can then compose the shot as if you were shooting with a medium- or large-format camera (6x6 cm, 4x5 inch, etc.).

When you take a picture, the aspect ratio information for cropping the image with the EOS software will be appended to the image. (The image is recorded to the card without being cropped.)

After the image is transferred to a computer, you can use Digital Photo

Professional (EOS software, p.520) to easily crop the image to the

aspect ratio that was set.

OFF : Off

6:6 : Aspect ratio 6:6

3:4 : Aspect ratio 3:4

4:5 : Aspect ratio 4:5

6:7 : Aspect ratio 6:7

5:6 : Aspect ratio 10:12

5:7 : Aspect ratio 5:7

If [ z

4: Crop/aspect ratio

] is set to any setting other than [

Full-frame

], the cropping information cannot be set.

Cropping information will also be appended for viewfinder shooting.

However, the cropping range will not be displayed.

Even if a RAW image with cropping information added is processed with

the camera (p.364), the JPEG image cannot be saved as the cropped

image.

: [Cancel] selected

L

: [Erase] selected

If [

Erase

] is set, be careful not to erase an image accidentally.

Retract lens on power off

This is to set the lens retraction mechanism for when a gear-driven

STM lens (such as EF40mm f/2.8 STM) is attached to the camera. You can set it to retract the extended lens automatically when the camera’s power switch is set to <

2

>.

ON: Enable

OFF: Disable

With auto power off, the lens will not retract regardless of the setting.

Make sure that the lens has been retracted before detaching it.

When [

Enable

] is set, this function takes effect regardless of the lens’s focus mode switch setting (AF or MF).

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the difference between the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R?
The EOS 5DS R has its optical low-pass filter disabled, which results in higher resolution images with more detail. However, it may also result in more moiré and false colors in certain situations.
What types of memory cards can I use with the EOS 5DS R?
The EOS 5DS R is compatible with CF cards and SD/SDHC/SDXC cards.
How can I improve the battery life of my EOS 5DS R?
You can improve the battery life of your EOS 5DS R by using a larger capacity battery, turning off the LCD monitor when not in use, and avoiding using the flash too often.
