f1 Illuminator Switch
When you rotate the power switch, located concentrically with the shutter release, all
the way to the clockwise position, the monochrome LCD control panel is backlit for
approximately six seconds. Choose the LCD Backlight option, the default, and that’s
exactly what happens. The Switch and Information Display also turns on the shooting
information display on the color LCD.
f2 OK Button (Shooting Mode)
You can define a function for the multi selector center button.
■ RESET Select center focus point. This default setting lets you quickly select the
center focus point in the viewfinder simply by pressing the multi selector center
button.
■ Highlight active focus point. This setting is useful when the active focus point is
not illuminated in the viewfinder, and you want to determine what it is. Just press
the multi selector center button, and presto, there it is.
■ Not used. Nothing happens when the multi selector center button is pressed. If
you find yourself sloppily pressing the center button in the heat of the moment
while shooting, use this setting to deactivate it and avoid unwanted actions.
f3 Assign Fn. Button
You can also define the function of the Fn button. Your choices are:
■ Preview. Depth-of-field preview. Perhaps you’d like to use the DOF preview but-
ton for something else, and substitute the Fn button for DOF preview.
■ FV Lock. Press the Fn button to lock the value of the built-in or external flash, and
press again to unlock it. This is the default value for the button.
■ AE/AF Lock. Lock both focus and exposure while the Fn button is pressed. Use
this setting or one of the next three when you want to have a specific mode of oper-
ation normally available from the AE-L/AF-L button, but would prefer to trigger
the behavior with the Fn button pressed instead.
■ AE Lock only. Lock only the exposure while the Fn button is pressed.
■ AE Lock (Hold). Exposure is locked when the Fn button is pressed, and remains
locked until the button is pressed again, or the exposure meter-off delay expires.
■ AF Lock only. Focus is locked in while the Fn button is held down.
