Wireless transmitter (WT-4) and a Network (UT-1) item has been
added (for more information on the Network (UT-1) item, download
the latest version of the manual for the UT-1 communication unit).
Be sure to update the firmware and supplied software for the wireless
transmitter or communication unit to the latest versions. Update the
UT-1 firmware to version 2.0 or later and the Wireless Transmitter Utility
software to version 1.5.0 or later.
Button
During viewfinder photography, focus can be locked using the B
button in place of the shutter-release button. If AF-ON only is selected
for Custom Setting a4 (AF activation), the camera will not focus when
the shutter-release button is pressed halfway; instead, the camera will
focus when the Bbutton is pressed, at which point focus will lock
and remain locked until the Bbutton is pressed again. The in-focus
indicator will not be displayed in the viewfinder. The update changes
the behavior of the Bbutton as follows:
• Before the update: The shutter could be released at any time, regardless
of the options selected for Custom Settings a1 (AF-C priority
selection) and a2 (AF-S priority selection).
• After the update: When Focus is selected for Custom Setting a2 (AF-S
priority selection), the shutter can no longer be released in single-
point AF AF-area mode if the camera fails to focus using single-servo
autofocus.
