Basic Operation

(1) After pressing a button, turn the

<5> dial.

When you press a button such as <f>,
<R>, or <i>, the respective
function remains selected for 6 seconds
(9). During this time, you can turn the
<

5

> dial to set the desired setting.

When the function selection turns off or if
you press the shutter button halfway, the
camera will be ready to shoot.

Use this dial to select or set the AF
mode, drive mode, ISO speed,
metering mode, AF point, etc.

(2) Turn the <5> dial only.

While looking at the viewfinder or LCD
panel, turn the <

5

> dial to set the

desired setting.

Use this dial to set the exposure
compensation amount, the aperture
setting for manual exposures, etc.

In Creative Zone modes, you can set the [6 Lock 5] menu setting to
[Enable] to prevent the Quick Control Dial from inadvertently turning
and changing the following settings:

• Exposure compensation (When shooting mode is d/s/f.)
• Aperture setting with manual exposures
• Aperture setting with bulb exposures

With [Lock 5: Enable] set, the <R> button below the Quick
Control Dial enables the [Lock 5] setting to be canceled temporarily
so that you can change the settings above. Press the <R> button
(0), then turn the <5> dial. (8 in movie mode.)
