We\u2019ve used the menu of the recent <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/reviews\/dslrs\/canon-eos-5d-mark-iv-review\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EOS 5D Mark IV<\/a> as a guide to what\u2019s available on the Canon EOS system, although it\u2019s worth bearing in mind some of the described features may be different or may not appear on models elsewhere in the line.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>1. Exposure<\/h2>\n<h4>Exposure Level Increments<\/h4>\n<p>Most cameras can have their exposure settings regulated in 1\/3-stop increments, whether you\u2019re setting shutter speed, using exposure compensation or something else. If you find this to be too fine, however, you can alter this to work in 1\/2-stop increments instead.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103170\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-1-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>ISO speed setting increments<\/h4>\n<p>If you don\u2019t fancy using any of the 1\/3-stop ISO settings such as ISO 160 and ISO 500, this option will let you adjust sensitivity in whole-stop increments instead. It won\u2019t, however, have this effect when ISO Auto is selected, nor will disable the use of a maximum sensitivity that\u2019s not a whole-stop ISO (such as ISO 32,000).<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103194\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Other-images-ISO-speed-setting-increments-593x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"600\" height=\"405\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Bracketing auto cancel<\/h4>\n<p>Powering off the camera normally has the effect of cancelling any bracketing option you\u2019ve selected; this setting allows you to specify whether you want this to be the case. You may find this useful if you tend to use bracketing with some frequency but are in the habit of turning off your camera to conserve battery life.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103172\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-3-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Bracketing sequence<\/h4>\n<p>Canon\u2019s DSLRs set to a bracketing option usually first capture the standard image before capturing the two additional frames. If, however, you would prefer for the camera to sandwich the standard frame in between the additional ones, you can use this option to set the sequence in either direction.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_103198&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103198 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Other-images-Number-of-bracketed-shots-standard-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Bracketing is useful in scenes with a wide dynamic range, and you can change the order in which images are captured<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h4>Number of bracketed shots<\/h4>\n<p>When using bracketing for exposure or white balance, the default number of bracketed images will be three: one standard image and one on either side of this. You can, however, capture two or four additional images, with whatever bias you\u2019ve selected applied to an even greater extent, to make a total of five and seven images respectively. Alternatively, you can set this to two images in total, which removes one of the additional images of your choosing.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103174 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-5-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"597\" height=\"400\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Safety shift<\/h4>\n<p>Ever try to capture an image and see the shutter speed or aperture flashing? Your camera is telling you that it cannot manage do so within aperture range or shutter speeds available at your chosen settings. This option adjusts the manually selected value in either Tv or Av modes to get around this, although you can also choose to apply this to the ISO settings instead.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103175 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-6-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"597\" height=\"400\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Same exposure for new aperture<\/h4>\n<p>This option maintains the same exposure in the manual exposure setting whenever you have a different maximum aperture to work with. This could be because you\u2019ve changed the lens to another or you\u2019re using a zoom lens with a variable maximum aperture, or alternatively when using an Extender, and you can specify whether the ISO, shutter speed or both change to compensate for this.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103176 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-7-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"597\" height=\"400\" \/><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>2. Exposure<\/h2>\n<h4>Set shutter speed range<\/h4>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want shutter speed to either drop below or rise above specific points, you can specify this here. This remains effective when setting the shutter speed manually or when using an exposure mode that allows the camera to decide this. Setting a minimum shutter speed could be useful when using a specific lens, or when capturing any kind of action over a prolonged period of time, while setting a maximum shutter speed could be useful when shooting longer exposures and a specific effect is desired.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103177 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-8-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"597\" height=\"400\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Set aperture range<\/h4>\n<p>In the same way that you can set minimum and maximum shutter speeds, you can do the same for aperture. You may find it useful to do so if your lens to be particularly soft at wider apertures, or if you want to reduce the extent to which diffraction affects your images at smaller ones.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_103199&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 420px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103199 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Other-images-Set-aperture-range.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"400\" height=\"599\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">You can close off part of your lens&#8217; aperture range, such as the very widest few apertures, to benefit image quality<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Display\/Operation, Others &amp; Clear<\/h1>\n<h2>3. Display\/Operation<\/h2>\n<h4>Warnings ! in viewfinder<\/h4>\n<p>Without the benefit of an electronic viewfinder, sometimes you may end up capturing images at settings you didn&#8217;t realise were still left on, such as monochrome or when you\u2019ve adjusted white balance in some way. Activating this will show an exclamation symbol in the viewfinder and on the rear LCD \u2013 and top-plate LCD if your camera has one \u2013 if any of these are still on, and there are five separate options to which this can be applied. This is particularly useful if you don\u2019t tend to shoot raw files, where such issues can be easily corrected.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_103193&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 622px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103193 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Other-images-Display-warnings-in-viewfinder-602x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"602\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">It&#8217;s easy to forget you still have certain settings such as Monochrome enabled, but Canon&#8217;s Intelligent Viewfinder can warn you of this<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h4>LV shooting area display<\/h4>\n<p>Composing images when using live view can be awkward if you choose to use a non-standard aspect ratio such as 16:9 or 4:3. This option lets you specify whether redundant areas or segregated with a line or masked off to make them less visible.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103180 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-11-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"597\" height=\"400\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Dial direction during TV\/AV<\/h4>\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s become accustomed to the direction in which exposure settings change when a command dial is rotated one way and the other will know how frustrating it can be when a new camera has things the other way around. Fortunately, if you find this to be the case you can remedy this with this control.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_103192&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103192\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Other-images-Dial-direction-during-Tv-Av-590x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"600\" height=\"407\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">You can reverse the operation of the dials when shooting in Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority modes<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h4>Custom Controls<\/h4>\n<p>You can customise many of the camera\u2019s controls to perform specific functions so that they either fall more easily to hand or simply perform as you would prefer. This option shows the controls that can have their functions altered and the options available to each, and also lets you quickly reset these all back to default settings.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103182 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-13-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"597\" height=\"400\" \/><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>4. Others<\/h2>\n<h4>Add cropping information<\/h4>\n<p>When using live view it\u2019s possible for images to be composed with an aspect ratio of your choosing but for the images to be recorded onto the card in its standard 3:2 ratio. If you enable this option, images have information on the aspect ratio of your choice appended to them, which is subsequently recognised by Canon\u2019s Digital Photo Professional program when editing.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103183 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-14-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"597\" height=\"400\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Default Erase option<\/h4>\n<p>When deleting images, the camera presents the Cancel option as the pre-selected choice and the Erase option next to it. As this requires you to manually select the Erase option it prevents you from accidentally erasing images, although if you find this unnecessary you can choose Erase as the default option.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103184 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-15-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"597\" height=\"400\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Retract lens on power off<\/h4>\n<p>An option only applicable to gear-driven STM lenses, this specifies what happens to the extended inner barrel of a lens when the camera is powered off.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_103196&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103196\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Other-images-Retract-lens-on-power-off_1-630x380.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"600\" height=\"361\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">STM lenses include the EF 40mm f\/2.8 STM released in 2012<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h4>Add IPTC information<\/h4>\n<p>Information Press Telecommunication Council (IPTC) information lets you store a broader range of information about an image, such as descriptions of the subjects within it and information relating to the photographer. This is useful for news agencies, image libraries and for archival purposes, and you can append this using Canon\u2019s EOS Utility program.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103186 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Secondary-images-17-597x400.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"597\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>5.
