The EOS-1D Mark II has 22 custom functions and 26 personal functions.
Custom and personal functions can be 'registered' into one of three 'custom
function groups', the idea being that you can instantly switch between
different sets of custom / personal functions for different situations
or photographers.
Custom functions can be programmed directly via the camera's C.Fn/P.Fn
Menu. Personal Functions can only be enabled / disabled (turned ON or
OFF), you can not change the value of a Personal Function in-camera, this
must be done via the supplied Canon EOS Viewer Utility while connected
to a computer.
The only custom functions which have changed since the EOS-1D/1Ds are
C.Fn 14 (E-TTL II) and C.Fn 21 (Drive speed priority AI Servo).
