External Controls
Shutter Button
: Located on the camera's top panel, this button sets focus and exposure
when halfway pressed, and fires the shutter when fully pressed. In Playback mode,
pressing this button returns the camera to the selected Record mode.
Command Dial
: Situated on the front of the hand grip so it's easily accessible for your
right index finger, this dial adjusts a variety of exposure settings. Pressing the dial lets
you select which exposure variable to adjust (exposure compensation, aperture, shutter
speed, or the exposure mode (P/A/S/M) itself), while a second press locks that
selection. Then, turning the dial adjusts the variable you've chosen.
Pop-up Flash Release Switch
: Sitting next to the flash compartment, this sliding
switch releases the flash into its operating position.
Drive Button
: Directly behind the Flash Release switch, this button accesses the Self-
Timer and Burst drive modes.
Focus Button
: To the right of the Drive button, this button accesses the available focus
modes, including Normal, Macro, and Landscape.
Flash Button
: Just to the right of the Focus button, this button cycles through the Auto,
Fill, Red-Eye Reduction, and Off flash modes when the pop-up flash is in its operating
position
Zoom Toggle Button
: In the top right corner of the rear panel, this button
controls the optical and digital zoom in any record mode. (Note though, that the
zoom can only be adjusted in movie mode when you're not actually recording a
movie. This is to prevent the noise of the zoom motor from intruding on your
movie's sound track.)
Information Button
: Adjacent to the top right corner of the LCD monitor, this button
turns the LCD information overlay display on and off.
