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.

Shortened release time lag
P.Fn-26
1D Mk II N 1Ds Mk II 1D Mk 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.
