3.Recordbutton:AEL(Ilikeusingthisasasecondfocusbuttonforeasier
groundlevelshooting)
4.AELButton:Magnify(ImaketheAELbuttonmagnifybecauseIamaleft
eyeshooterandmynosegetsinthewayoffocusing!SinceIuserearbutton
focus. WemadefocustheAELbuttonafewstepsabove.That'swhyIassign
Fn1toAEL.Iusethatasmymainfocusingbutton.Itsmuchfurtherawayfrom
mynose!)
5.L‐Fn:HDR(IlikequickaccesstoHDR.Thisjustturnsitonoroff.Itwill
defaulttowhateversettingyouusedlast.Sothefirsttimeyouturnitonwith
thelensbutton,hittheHDRbuttononthetopleftofthebodyandselect
whichHDRmodeyouprefer.ThentheLensbuttonwillturnitonoroffto
thatsetting.
