Canon® EOS Digital Rebel XTi/400D Digital Field Guide

Appendix A. Custom Functions

Custom Functions enable you to customize camera controls and operation to better suit your shooting style and to save you time. Once you set a Custom Function option, it remains in effect until you change it. Some Custom Functions are useful for everyday shooting, while others are for specific situations. For example, C.Fn-2: Long exp. noise reduction detects noise in long-exposure images and takes a second image to subtract out noise from the image.

Canon refers to Custom Functions by using the abbreviation C.Fn-[number].
