Bring up Setup Menu 5, shown in Figure 1-38, to access the following items:

FIGURE 1-38: Setup Menu 5 is home to the Custom Functions options, among other items.

 Custom Functions: Selecting this option opens the door to Custom Functions, which are a set of advanced features. See “Navigating Custom Functions,” earlier in this chapter, for tips on making your way through these screens.

  Clear Settings: Via this option, you can restore the default menu settings. You also can reset all the Custom Functions settings to their defaults.

 Copyright Information: Using this option, explained in Chapter 11, you can embed copyright information in your files.

 Manual/software URL: Canon provides a printed camera manual in the T8i/850D shipping box. But the print version doesn’t tell you the whole story about the camera. If you want the full manual, you can download it in an electronic format (PDF, to be specific) and then read it on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.To make finding the download site easy, choosing this menu option displays a QR code (Quick Response code). If your smartphone or tablet has an app that can read these codes, you simply aim the device’s camera at the code to display the download site’s web address (URL, or Universal Resource Locator). The site also provides access to the Canon software that’s available for free download to purchasers of the camera.

 Certification Logo Display: You have permission to ignore this screen, which simply displays logos for a couple electronics-industry certifications claimed by the camera. You can find additional logos on the bottom of the camera.

 Firmware: This item tells you the version number of the camera firmware (internal operating software). At the time of publication, the current firmware version was 1.0.0. Keeping your camera firmware up-to-date is important, so visit the Canon website (www.canon.com) regularly to find out whether your camera sports the latest version. Follow the instructions given on the website to download and install updated firmware if needed.
