Canon EOS 100 - Custom Functions

Custom Functions

The EOS 100 was among the first of Canon's cameras to have the facility to alter its operation via custom functions. These would remain set even if the camera was switched off or the battery replaced.

Custom Function Description
CF1 1=Stop film rewind at end of spool. Useful at quiet social events – film is rewound by pressing the film rewind button.
CF2 1=Second shutter flash sync. Gives more natural speed blurring.
CF3 1=Ignore DX film coding. Used if the photographer decides to up/down-rate a whole spool.
CF4 1=Switch off AF auxiliary light. Used if the auxiliary light could distract the subject.
CF5 1=Enable depth of field preview. Pressing the exposure lock button also sets the aperture so depth-of-field can be seen through the viewfinder.
CF6 1=Turn all warning bleeps off. Makes the camera even quieter.
CF7 1=Mirror up at start of countdown timer. Used to minimise all possibility of camera shake.

Famous quotes containing the words custom and/or functions:

    Very few people are acquainted with death. They undergo it, commonly, not so much out of resolution as custom and insensitivity; and most men die because they cannot help it.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    Let us stop being afraid. Of our own thoughts, our own minds. Of madness, our own or others’. Stop being afraid of the mind itself, its astonishing functions and fandangos, its complications and simplifications, the wonderful operation of its machinery—more wonderful because it is not machinery at all or predictable.
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)
