The Rotary Multi Selector
The rotary multi selector is made up of the rotating ring and the d button.
When selecting menus or pictures, you can either press the rotating ring up,
down, left, or right, or rotate it. When choosing from numerous menu items
or pictures, rotating the ring is recommended for easy scrolling, and faster
operation.
This section describes standard uses of the rotary multi selector to select
modes, select menu options, and to apply selection.

Notes on the Rotary Multi Selector
• In many cases, you can choose how to use the rotary multi selector to perform an opera-
tion. For example, rotating the selector clockwise and pressing the selector right may pro-
duce the same results. Since the selector can be used in various ways, concrete descriptions
such as “Press the rotary multi selector J” are included only in cases where necessary.
• In the manual, the button indicating up, down, left, and right of the rotary multi selector is
shown as G, H, I, and J.
