Introduction—Getting to Know the Camera

The Command Dials

The main- and sub-command dials are used alone or in combination with other controls to adjust a variety of settings. For ease of access when taking photographs in tall (portrait) orientation, dials that duplicate the functions of the main and sub-command dials have been placed close to the shutter- release button for vertical shooting ( 31).
