Canon EOS A2E - Manual (Page 108)

Custom Functions (when the number in the LCD panei is 1)
CF1. Sets automatic film rewind to high­
speed mode. Film is rewound at approximately twice the speed of standard
rewind mode.
CF2: Leaves the film leader outside the car­
tridge after rewinding.
This function is useful if you develop your own film or plan to re­
load partially-used film after rewinding in mid--foll.
CF3: Cancels automatic film speed setting
with DX-coded film. Use this function when you wish to compensate the film speed
or manually set effective film speeds obtained from independ­
ent testing.
CF4: Switches the autofocus start function
from the shutter button to the AE lock
button.
When this function is set, autofocus will not start when the
shutter button is pressed halfway. The AE lock button simulta­
neously locks the exposure setting and initiates autofocus.
This custom function cannot be used together with CF6 or
CF11.
CF5 Changes single exposure operation to
allow the next exposure only after the
shutter button is fully returned to the
off position. Setting this function ensures that a fresh meter reading will be
taken before each exposure.
CF6: Changes the function of the AE lock
button to temporarily stop autofocus-
ing operation.
Use this function when you wish to temporarily fix the focus at a
certain point when shooting sports or action with Al Servo AF.
This custom function cannot be used together with CF4.
CF7: Prohibits firing of the AF auxiliary light
during autofocusing.
This function is useful to keep the AF auxiliary light from ap­
pearing in other people's pictures in situations where many
people are taking pictures of the same scene
CF8: Prohibits cancellation of multiple ex­
posure mode after a single frame. Use this function when making multiple exposures on suc­
cessive frames to keep from having to reset multiple exposure
mode for every frame.
To check the current frame number, keep the shutter button
held pressed after the last exposure in a multiple exposure se­
quence
