The EOS-1Ds Mark II has 20 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. (Note that to remain consistent with previous EOS-1D cameras certain custom and personal function numbers do not exist in the menu).
Custom functions can be set 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 carried out via the supplied Canon EOS Viewer Utility with the camera connected to a computer.
