1. Automatic film rewind can be
canceled. This eliminates the possibility
of rewind noise when shooting in very
quiet areas.
2. The film leader can be left out-
side the film cartridge after automatic
rewind is completed, making it easy to
retrieve film during development. Film
cartridges
can also be partially used,
removed
then easily reloaded later.
3.
Automatic DX-coded film speed
setting
can be canceled. This is useful
for photographers
who frequently
adjust film speed or use non-DX
Control
cartridges.
4. Autofocus can be initiated by
pressing
the AE lock button . By
separating focusing and metering
operatins, focus-lock shooting be-
comes
more flexible.
5. Sets the aperture value with the
main electronic input dial and the shut-
ter speed with the auxiliary dial during
manual exposure mode operation.
(The opposite
of regular operation.)
The photographer can decide the
combination that's easiest for the way
he
or she holds the camera.
6. Sets the shutter speeds and aper-
ture values in I-step increments.
(Normal operation is in I/ 3-step
increments. )

7. Prevents manual focusing after
completion of one-shot AF mode
operation. (The system thus offers
the photographer a choice when using
USM lenses, and makes it possible to
select the degree
of "automation"
during AF operation.)
8. Switch from evaluative metering
to center-weighted average metering.
Shutter "Feel"
Adjustment
The shutter button height and
release stroke can be easily adjusted at
a Canon service facility, without
disassembling the camera.
