By default, the (FUNC.1 ) controls

ton exposure compensation. Using the

tering to either button makes it possible to adjust these set-
tings without using the menus. Alternatively, you can assign the
functions of the or buttons to the FUNC. 1 or
FUNC. 2 buttons, putting these functions where they can be
easily adjusted.
