Introduction
g (AE-L/AF-L) Button
When shooting still pictures, instead of pressing
the shutter-release button halfway, you can use
the AE-L/AF-L button to shoot with focus lock
(A29).
• The exposure and focus are locked while the
AE-L/AF-L button is pressed. Fully press the
shutter-release button to release the shutter
with the locked exposure and focus (default setting).
• The operations performed when the AE-L/AF-L button is pressed can be set with
AE/AF lock button in the setup menu (A185).
When the AE-L/AF-L button is pressed during playback, the list by date screen can
be displayed to play back only pictures shot on the same date (A119).
w (FUNC) Button
Use the w button with the zoom control or
shutter-release button.
• This can be used when A, B, C, D, E, F or
N is selected for shooting mode.
Combined with the zoom control
When shooting, operate the zoom control while
pressing the w button. This quickly changes to the
zoom lens focal length that is set with Zoom
memory (A107) in the shooting menu.
Combined with the shutter-release button
When shooting, press the shutter-release button while
holding down the w button. You can shoot with the
function setting that is assigned to Fn button (A186)
in the setup menu, without changing the shooting
menu setting.
• In the default setting, no function is assigned.
• When the w button is pressed while a function is assigned, the w button
operation indicator (A6) and the icon for the assigned function are displayed.
