Helpful hints

Sensor dust	Turn the camera off when changing lenses. If the sensor is charged, it will pick up more dust. Also, clean the back of your lenses before mounting. To clean your sensor, use the "sensor cleaning" option in the menu to lock up the mirror with an un-charged sensor. Then use a blower bulb to gently clean. NEVER use dust-off.
White balance	For the most accurate balance, use custom WB by shooting a white card, selecting that image in the "custom WB" menu option, and then setting your white balance to "custom." Your white card setting will ONLY be used when you shoot on the "custom" setting.
New in the 20D	The on/off switch has a third position to take the place of the command dial on/off switch. If you put the main on/off switch in the top position, it locks the command dial.

Custom Functions
