Customizing your camera
DIAL DIRECTION
You can select the rotational direction of the dial and the direction in which the shutter speed/
aperture value will increase or decrease.
AEL/AFL
You can use the AEL/AFL button to perform AF or metering operations instead of using the
shutter button.
Select the function of the button to match the operation when the shutter button is pressed.
Select [mode1] to [mode4] in each focus mode. (You can only select [mode4] in C-AF
mode.)
Basic operations
[mode1] For determining the metered exposure while focusing. AE lock is activated
while pressing the AEL/AFL button, allowing you to adjust the focus and
determine the exposure separately.
[mode2] For determining the exposure when you press the shutter button fully. This is
useful for shooting scenes with significant changes in lighting, such as on a
stage.
[mode3] For focusing with the AEL/AFL button instead of the shutter button.
[mode4] Press the AEL/AFL button to focus, and press the shutter button fully to
determine the exposure.
