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.
