3 Custom Function Settings N
C.Fn I: Exposure
C.Fn I -1     Exposure level increments
0: 1/3-stop
1: 1/2-stop
Sets 1/2-stop increments for the  shutter speed, aperture, exposure 
compensation, AEB, flash exposure  compensation, etc. Effective when 
you prefer to control the exposure in  less fine increments than 1/3-stop 
increments.
C.Fn I -2     ISO speed setting increments
0: 1/3-stop
1: 1-stop
C.Fn I -3     ISO expansion
0: Off
1: On
For the ISO speed, “ H” (equivalent to ISO 12800 ) will be selectable. 
Note that if [ 8C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [1: Enable],  
“ H ” (equivalent to ISO  12800) cannot be set.
C.Fn I -4     Bracketing auto cancel
0: On
The AEB and WB-BKT settings will be  canceled if you set the power 
switch to < 2> or clear the camera se ttings. AEB will also be 
canceled when the flash is ready to fi re or if you switch to the movie 
mode.
1: Off The AEB and WB-BKT settings will not  be canceled even if you set the 
power switch to < 2>. (If the flash is ready  to fire, AEB will be 
canceled temporarily, but the  AEB amount will be retained.)
With setting 1, the exposure level will be displayed in the viewfinder and on 
the LCD panel as shown below.

C.Fn I -5     Bracketing sequence
The AEB shooting sequence and white bal ance bracketing sequence can 
be changed.
0: 0, -, +
1: -, 0, +
C.Fn I -6     Safety shift
0: Disable
1: Enable (Tv/Av)
This takes effect in the shutter-priority AE ( s) and aperture-priority AE 
( f ) modes. When the subject’s bright ness changes erratically and the 
standard auto exposure cannot be obtai ned, the camera will change the 
exposure setting automatically to obtain a standard exposure.
C.Fn I -7   Flash sync. speed in Av mode
0: Auto
Normally, the sync speed will be set aut omatically within 1/250 sec. to 
30 sec. to suit the subject bright ness. High-speed sync can also take 
effect.
1: 1/250-1/60 sec. auto When flash is used with  aperture-priority AE (f), this prevents a slow 
flash-sync speed from being set automatic ally in low-light conditions. It 
is effective for preventing subject  blur and camera shake. However, 
while the subject will be properly ex posed with the flash, the background 
will come out dark.
2: 1/250 sec. (fixed)
The flash-sync speed is fixed to 1/ 250 sec. This more effectively 
prevents subject blur and camera s hake than with setting 1. However, 
the background may come out darker than with setting 1.

C.Fn II: Image
C.Fn II -1     Long exposure noise reduction
0: Off
1: Auto
For 1 sec. or longer exposure s, noise reduction is performed 
automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This [ Auto] 
setting is effective in most cases.
2: On Noise reduction is performed for all ex posures of 1 sec. or longer. The 
[ On ] setting may be able to reduce  noise which otherwise cannot be 
detected with the [ Auto] setting.
C.Fn II -2     High ISO speed noise reduction
Reduces the noise generated in the  image. Although noise reduction is 
applied at all ISO speeds, it is particul arly effective at high ISO speeds. At 
low ISO speeds, the noise in the shad ow areas is further reduced. Change 
the setting to suit the noise level.
0: Standard 2: Strong
1: Low 3: Disable
  With settings 1 and 2, after the pict ure is taken, the noise reduction 
process may take the same amount of  time as the exposure. You cannot 
take another picture until the nois e reduction process is completed.
  At ISO 1600 and higher, noise might  be more pronounced with setting 2 
than with setting 0 or 1.
  With setting 2, if a long  exposure is shot with the Live View displayed, 
“ BUSY” will be displayed during the no ise reduction process. The Live 
View display will not ap pear until the noise reduct ion is completed. (You 
cannot take another picture.)
  With setting 2, the maximum burst fo r continuous shooting will greatly 
decrease.
  If you playback a RAW or RAW+JPEG  image with the camera or print an 
image directly, the effect of the high  ISO speed noise reduction may look 
minimal. You can check the noise reduc tion effect or print noise-reduced 
images with Digital Photo Prof essional (provided software).

3 Custom Function Settings N
C.Fn II -3     Highlight tone priority
0: Disable
1: Enable
Improves the highlight  detail. The dynamic range is expanded from the 
standard 18% gray to br ight highlights. The gradation between the grays 
and highlights becomes smoother.
C.Fn III: Autofocus/Drive
C.Fn III -1     Lens drive when AF impossible
If autofocus is executed, but focus  cannot be achieved, the camera can 
either keep trying to focus or stop.
0: Continue focus search
1: Stop focus search
Prevents the camera from becoming grossly out of focus as it attempts 
to focus again. Especially convenient  with super telephoto lenses which 
can become extremely out of focus.
C.Fn III -2    AF point selection method
0: S Activate AF selection /  9Select AF point
You can press the < S> button, then select the AF point directly with 
.
1: S Auto selection /  9Manual selection
Pressing the < S> button will set automatic  AF point selection. To 
select the AF point manually, you can use < 9> without first pressing 
the < S> button.
 With setting 1, the Auto Lighting Opti mizer (p.101) is automatically set to 
[ Disable ] and the setting cannot be changed.
  With setting 1, noise ma y become slightly more pronounced than usual.
With setting 1, the settable  range will be ISO 200 - 6400.
Also, the  icon will be displayed on  the LCD panel and in the 
viewfinder when highlight to ne priority is enabled.
With setting 1, the C.Fn IV -2 [Assign SET button] setting will be disabled.

C.Fn III -3    Superimposed display
0: On
1: Off
When focus is achieved, the AF point  will not light up in red in the 
viewfinder. Set this if the AF poi nts lighting up is too distracting.
The AF point will still li ght up when you select it.
C.Fn III -4     AF-assist beam firing
The AF-assist beam can be emitted by t he camera’s built-in flash or by an 
external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite.
0: Enable
1: Disable
The AF-assist beam is not emitted.
2: Enable external flash only If an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite  is attached, it will emit the AF-
assist beam when necessary. The camera ’s built-in flash will not fire the 
AF-assist beam.
3: IR AF assist beam only Among EOS-dedicated Speedlites, only  those which have an infrared 
AF-assist beam will be able to em it the beam. This prevents any 
Speedlite which uses a series of sm all flashes (like the built-in flash) 
from firing the AF-assist beam.
If the external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite’s [ AF-assist beam firing] Custom 
Function is set to [Disabled ], the Speedlite will not emit the AF-assist beam 
even if the camera’s C. Fn III -4-0/2/3 is set.

About focusing scr een characteristics
Ef-A: Standard Precision Matte Standard focusing screen which comes with the camera. It 
provides a good balance between  viewfinder brightness and 
manual focusing ease.
Ef-D: Precision Matte with Grid Grid lines are added to the Ef-A 
focusing screen. The grid helps to 
align the shot vertically and 
horizontally.
Ef-S: Super Precision Matte The point of focus is easier to  distinguish than with the Ef-A 
focusing screen. Helpful to users who often focus manually.
About Super Precision Matte Ef-S  and Maximum Lens Aperture
  This focusing screen  is optimized for f/2.8 and faster lenses.
  With lenses slower than f/ 2.8, the viewfinder will look darker than with the 
Ef-A focusing screen.
  Even if you clear all the  Custom Function settings  to the default settings, 
the C.Fn IV -4 setting will be retained.
  Since the EOS 60D’s standard focusing  screen is the Ef-A, C.Fn IV -4-0 
is set upon factory shipment.
  To change the focusing sc reen, refer to the instructions that come with 
the focusing screen. If th e focusing screen does not come down with the 
holder, tilt the camera forward.
  The C.Fn IV -4 will not be included in the Camera user  setting registered 
(p.262).

0: Disable
1: Enable
Data for verifying whether the image is  original or not is appended to the 
image automatically. When the  shooting information of an image 
appended with the verification data  is displayed (p.191), the  icon 
will appear.
To verify whether the image is original, the Original Data Security Kit 
OSK-E3 (sold separately) is required.
The images are not compatible with  the image encryption/decryption 
features of Original Da ta Security Kit OSK-E3.
