picture-taking
When single shooting is selected, this function selects quiet camera operation when you
release the shutter button from the fully pressed position to the half way position.
This is useful when the camera operation noise would be disturbing after you take the
picture.
If you select continuous shooting, the camera operates normally.
Setting mirror lockup with C.Fn-12 will further reduce the shooting noise.

You can use this function to select the default settings when you press the <CLEAR>
button.
Convenient when you want to instantly switch to frequently-used settings.
P.Fn-26
This function is compatible with the EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1D
Mark II.
Normally, the shutter-release time lag is controlled for stability. This Personal Function
eliminates this control. As a result, the shutter-release time lag can be reduced by as much
as about 20 percent when the aperture needs to be stopped down by no more than 3 stops.
This is effective when a shorter shutter-release time lag is more important than a stable
shutter-release time lag.
Since the difference is in 10-millisecond increments, the time lag may not feel any
shorter.

more intuitive.

direction does not change.
