Remote Shooting In The Eos Capture - Canon EOS 10D Instruction Manual

Retains the shift amount for program shift
P.Fn-10
Normally, any program shift amount is canceled after you take the picture. This Personal
Function retains the program shift amount.
This function is useful when you want to shift the standard program line so that priority is
given to the shutter speed or to the aperture.
By shifting the program, you can change the shutter speed or aperture and still retain the same
exposure level. Under the same brightness, you can shift the program line toward the right to
set a faster shutter speed and a larger aperture (lower f/number). Or you can shift the program
line toward the left to set a slower shutter speed and a smaller aperture (higher f/number).
P.Fn-10 retains the amount of program shift. Select the appropriate amount of shift for the level
of priority you want to give to the shutter speed or aperture setting.

Standard program line
Program line shifted toward a faster shutter speed.
Program line shifted toward a slower shutter speed.
With EF50mm f/1.4 USM
The program shift amount remains in effect until you set it back to the standard program
manually or replace the battery or press the <CLEAR> button.
The shift amount is retained even after you change the lens.
Executes AI Servo AF continuous shooting giving priority to
P.Fn-13
the drive speed
During continuous shooting, shutter release-priority takes effect instead of focus-priority.
Effective when it is more important to capture an image even though it might be slightly out
of focus.
This function is compatible with the EOS-1D only.

Shutter Speed
Disables focus detection (search driving) by the lens drive
P.Fn-14
Normally, when you press the shutter button halfway and focus cannot be achieved, the
lens is driven to search the correct focus. This lens driving operation can be turned off.
When focus has been achieved once and refocusing fails, the subsequent lens driving
operation can result in grossly out of focus. This subsequent lens driving operation is turned
off. P.Fn-14 is especially suited for super telephoto lenses.
If autofocusing is attempted while the lens is way out of focus, the lens may stop
operating. Focus manually until the subject outline becomes discernable, then
autofocus.
Disables the AF-assist beam from being emitted
P.Fn-15
This disables the external Speedlite's built-in AF-assist beam.
At a joint photo session, etc., this prevents the AF-assist beam's pattern projected on the
subject from being photographed by other photographers.
Enables automatic shooting when focus is achieved at the
P.Fn-16
fixed point of focus while the shutter button is pressed fully
This takes the picture automatically when the subject comes to the preset focusing distance.
Focusing detection is performed using the selected AF point.
Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually at the desired point of focus.
Keep pressing the shutter button fully.
Using an accessory such as Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter button
relieves 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 DC
Coupler Kit.
When this function is used in combination with a flash, the flash remains on standby
at full charge. Consequently, the flash batteries are used up more quickly. (The
Speedlite's SE mode is disabled.)
When you use a flash with this function, set the drive mode to single-frame shooting.
If you select continuous shooting, the flash will be unable to charge in time for
successive shots and will not fire at full charge.
If you set the drive mode to continuous shooting, set the number of shots in P.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 memory card is reached.
P.Fn-16 cannot be used with manual focus lenses or with lenses that are too slow to
be used with autofocusing.
Do not use this function when C.Fn-4-1/3 is set as shots will be taken regardless of
whether the image is in focus.
Using an accessory such as Remote Controller RS-80N3 which can lock the shutter
button is recommended.
