AF-ON Button

The EOS 40D has several functions that were added to support
the wide variety of shooting styles expected of users of this camera.
AF-ON
The AF button is placed in a convenient position for access by the
frequently-used right thumb. The button is effective when users want
to focus and decide exposure separately. The AF-ON button is used to
operate AF, and pressing the shutter halfway down can fix the exposure.
Pressing the AF-ON button also pauses Live View Function (reflex mirror goes down) and
executes AF. Letting go of the AF-ON button resumes the Live View Function.

Picture Style Button

The EOS 40D's Picture Styles have the same
Picture Style Button
Picture Style Selection Screen
specifications as those of the EOS 30D. The
EOS 40D has a separate Picture Style selection
button positioned conveniently at the bottom
right of the LCD monitor to make selection easier.

Customization

The EOS 40D can be configured with speed, convenience and assurance in many, many
ways. The EOS 40D has 24 Custom Functions with 62 settings selectable with the camera.
Current camera user settings can be registered under the Mode Dial's C1, C2, and C3
settings. Up to 6 top-tier menu options and Custom Function settings can be registered
in My Menu. With the Speedlite 580EX II attached to the camera, one can set or cancel
all the Speedlite's Custom Function settings (C.Fn-0 to 13) with the camera.
