Recalling a function using the Custom Key

You can use the custom key function to assign the functions you use most frequently to easily operable keys. This lets you skip the process of selecting items from MENU, so you can recall the functions more quickly.
You can assign functions to the following keys.

  • Custom Button 1
  • AEL Button
  • Fn / Button
  • Center Button / Left Button / Right Button / Down Button
  • Custom Button 2

The following is the procedure for assigning the [Eye AF] function to the AEL button.
If you press the AEL button in the still image shooting mode and eyes are detected, [Eye AF] will activate, and the camera will focus on the eyes. Shoot images while holding down the AEL button.
