Assigning custom keys
Because you can recall the functions assigned to custom keys at the press of a button, it is a good idea to assign functions used before shooting to buttons on top of the camera, which you can reach with your index finger. Consider assigning functions used during shooting to buttons on the rear of the camera, which you can reach with your thumb.
Example: Assigning autofocus settings to custom keys
- Custom Button 1：[AF/MF Ctrl Toggle]
- AEL Button: [AEL hold] or [Eye AF]
- Center Button: [Focus Standard]
- Custom Button 2：[Focus Mode]
Hint
After you have assigned frequently used functions to custom keys, you can easily access other functions that you use less often by registering them to the Function menu.
