Housing Controls - Back View
Rear Dial Knob Use (control #2): The knob’s white dot should be in the 12
o’clock position when not in use, preventing the camera dial from being
pushed. This is necessary so the camera will not receive a signal which
could lock out other camera functions. To change functions using the Rear
Dial, lift and rotate the knob until the white dot is in the 6 o’clock position.
Push in and release once or twice until the desired control function is
highlighted in the lower portion of your LCD screen. Rotate the knob away
from the 6 o’clock position to the desired setting. DO NOT rotate the knob
white dot to the 6 o’clock position while a setting is being made, otherwise
the chosen camera function may inadvertently change. If necessary, lift the
knob to bypass the 6 o’clock position to reach the desired setting. Once the
desired setting is reached, lift and return the knob white dot to the 12 o’clock
position. Check to make sure your desired settings are correct.
