Figure 4-74, image 5). The next step makes an
assignment for when you press and hold the button, and
then rotate one of the Command dials.
8. Choose one of the functions to assign to the Selected
button + command dials (see Figure 4-72, Figure 4-73,
or Figure 4-74, image 6). The upcoming section titled
Assignable Function List will explain what each
function does.
9. Press the OK button to lock in the setting for Selected
button + command dials.
Note: For some reason, Nikon chose to call the Fn (FUNC.)
button plus “command dials” selection by a different name.
Notice that in Figure 4-72, image 3, the second setting is
called Fn button + dials. On the other assignable buttons, the
name is different: Preview button + command dials and
AE-L/AF-L button + command dials. Maybe it was an
oversight in the programming department that the word
“command” was left out of the Fn button + dials setting name.
Now, let’s look at the Assignable Function List to see what
amazing powers we can give each of the assignable buttons
on our cameras.
Assignable Function List
Let’s review each of the functions you can assign to the
Selected button press. Then we’ll look at the ones you can
assign to the Selected button + command dials.
Please review the functions that have a double asterisk (**)
carefully. Setting those functions will disable functionality in
another part of the camera.
