f5: Customize Command Dials

Gbutton ➜ ACustom Settings menu

This option controls the operation of the main and sub-command dials.

•Reverse rotation: Reverse the direction of rotation of the command dials when they are used to make adjustments to Exposure compensation and/or Shutter speed/aperture. Highlight options and press the multi selector right to select or deselect, then highlight Done and press J. This setting also applies to the command dials for the MB-D14.

•Change main/sub: If Off is selected, the main command dial controls shutter speed and the sub-command dial controls aperture. Select On (Mode A) to use the main command dial to select aperture in shooting mode A, On to use the main command dial to select aperture in modes A and M and the sub-command dial to select shutter speed in modes S and M. This setting also applies to the command dials for the MB-D14.

•Aperture setting: If Sub-command dial is selected, aperture can only be adjusted with the sub-command dial (or with the main command dial if On is selected for Change main/sub). If Aperture ring is selected, aperture can only be adjusted with the lens aperture ring and the camera aperture display will show aperture in increments of 1 EV (aperture for type G, E lenses is still set using the sub-command dial). Note that regardless of the setting chosen, the aperture ring must be used to adjust aperture when a non-CPU lens is attached.

•Menus and playback: If Off is selected, the multi selector is used to choose the picture displayed during full-frame playback, highlight thumbnails, and navigate menus. If On or On (image review excluded) is selected, the main command dial can be used to choose the picture displayed during full-frame playback, move the cursor left or right during thumbnail playback, and move the menu highlight bar up or down. The sub-command dial is used to display additional photo information in full-frame playback and to move the cursor up or down during thumbnail playback. Select On (image review excluded) to prevent the command dials from being used for playback during image review. While menus are displayed, rotating the sub-command dial right displays the sub-menu for the selected option, while rotating it left displays the previous menu. To make a selection, press 2 or J.
