Fine-Tuning Camera Settings

Menu Guide—Custom Settings

Custom settings are used to fine-tune a variety of camera settings to suit the user’s preferences, creating combinations of settings that differ from the fac- tory defaults in effect at the time your camera was purchased. In addition to Custom Settings C (Bank select) and R (Menu reset), settings in the CSM (Custom Settings) menu are divided into the following six groups:

 

Group

Custom Settings

a

Autofocus

a1–a8

b

Metering/Exposure

b1–b7

c

Timers/AE&AF Lock

c1–c5

d

Shooting/Display

d1–d6

e

Bracketing/Flash

e1–e8

f

Controls

f1–f7

Press the multi selector up or down to highlight the desired group and then press the multi se- lector to the right. The full list of Custom Settings a1–f7 will be displayed, starting with the settings in the selected group. To select a setting in a dif- ferent group, press the multi selector up or down

scroll until the desired setting is displayed, or press the multi selector to the left to return the top menu and select a different group. Custom Setting a1 (AF-C mode priority) and f7 (No CF card?) are linked: pressing the multi se- lector up when Custom Setting a1 is highlighted displays Custom Setting f7, while pressing the multi selector down while Custom Setting f7 is highlighted displays Custom Setting a1.

Using the Multi Selector

The multi selector can be used at any time when the monitor is on. The focus selector lock switch only takes effect when the monitor is off.
