Customizing your camera

Use the custom menus to customize the camera for ease of use. Use Custom Menu 1 to
customize the shooting functions and Custom Menu 2 to set the basic camera functions.
Custom Menu 1 has 8 tabs (a to h) that are divided according to the functions to be set.

For details on using the menu lists, see “Using the menu” (

gP. 29).

Custom Menu 1a AF/MF

AF ILLUMINAT.

The built-in flash can function as an AF illuminator. This helps with focusing in low-light
conditions in the AF mode. To use this function, raise the flash.

FOCUS RING

You can customize how the lens adjusts to the focal point
by selecting the rotational direction of the focus ring.

RESET LENS

When set to [ON], this resets the focus of the lens (infinity) each time the power is turned off.

BULB FOCUSING

You can set the camera to enable focus adjustments during bulb shooting with MF.

[ON]

During exposure, you can turn the focus ring and adjust the focus.

[OFF]

The focus is locked during exposure.

Custom Menu 1b BUTTON/DIAL

DIAL FUNCTION

You can also switch the operation of the control dial to the opposite of factory default settings.
For example, after setting [P] to [F], in P mode you can adjust the exposure compensation
using the control dial and set the program shift using the control dial while holding down the

F button.
