It is useful to assign a frequently used menu
item to the CAM CTRL dial.
The following is an example of the
procedure when the [FOCUS] setting is
assigned (the default setting).
1 Press the MANUAL button to activate the
manual adjustment mode.
The setting mode switches between
automatic and manual every time you press
the MANUAL button.
2 Rotate the CAM CTRL dial to adjust the
focus manually.
Menu items that can be assigned
– [FOCUS] (p. 45)
– [EXPOSURE] (p. 43)
– [SHUTTR SPEED] (p. 44)
– [AE SHIFT] (p. 45)
– [WB SHIFT] (p. 45)

CTRL dial

several seconds.

2 Rotate the CAM CTRL dial and select a
menu item to be assigned.

retained even if you set other menu item settings
after that. If [EXPOSURE] is set after [AE
SHIFT] is set manually, [EXPOSURE] will

set manually return to the default setting.
