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:

    It is the custom of the immortal gods to grant temporary prosperity and a fairly long period of impunity to those whom they plan to punish for their crimes, so that they may feel it all the more keenly as a result of the change in their fortunes.
    Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)

    The English masses are lovable: they are kind, decent, tolerant, practical and not stupid. The tragedy is that there are too many of them, and that they are aimless, having outgrown the servile functions for which they were encouraged to multiply. One day these huge crowds will have to seize power because there will be nothing else for them to do, and yet they neither demand power nor are ready to make use of it; they will learn only to be bored in a new way.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
