Huh? Have you read the *ist DS instruction manual? The Custom
Function menu settings are documented starting on Page 100. All
of them are there, and they're all clearly indicated with
references to further information as needed. They're all sensible
options too, non of the "slimming filter" nonsense.
I was just looking through lists of camera specs, not at the
manual. And I shudder at the thought of a slimming filter.
Although........
I agree on the "slimming" filter ... to me, that's nonsense. However,
