Basic camera operations

There are two ways to use the direct buttons.

While holding down a direct button, turn the
main dial or sub dial.
• Release the button to set the function.
• Some functions are set using only the main dial

(or sub dial).

• The three buttons next to the flash have two

functions each. Use the main dial to operate and
set the functions indicated above the buttons,
and use the sub dial to operate and set the
functions indicated to the side of the buttons.

After pressing two direct buttons at the same
time, turn the main dial or sub dial.
• When the buttons are pressed, the

corresponding function is selected. The function
remains selected for approximately 8 seconds.
You can turn the dial and set the function during
that time. If no operations are performed during
that time, the setting for that function is then set.

Setting information is displayed in the viewfinder and on the control panel and super
control panel while you are setting a function. (The setting with the
G/

AF button is

shown in the screenshots.)
