СКАЧАТЬ of the camera is initially blank. Pressing this button during shooting displays the Camera Settings screen; pressing again displays the Electronic Level; and pressing a third time displays the Shooting Settings display. We describe all three of these screens in the upcoming section, “Monitoring Critical Camera Settings.” A fourth press of the button turns the monitor off. To find out how to customize the button, see “The Info button: Choosing what the screen shows,” also later in this chapter.

      In Playback, Live View, and Movie modes, pressing this button changes the picture-display style, as outlined in Chapters 4 and 5.

      ❯❯ Live View/Movie mode button and switch: Live View is the camera feature that enables you to compose photos using the monitor instead of the viewfinder. The camera ships ready for Live View mode. All you have to do is press the Start/Stop button, providing the switch above the button is pointing to the camera icon. This engages Live View; press Start/Stop again to return to regular (viewfinder) shooting.

      To enter Movie mode, move the switch to the red movie camera icon. The live scene appears on the monitor, and you can then press the Start/Stop button to start and stop recording. To return to still photography using the viewfinder, move the switch back to the camera icon. Live View will be disabled; press the Start/Stop buttong to activate it.

      ❯❯ AF-ON button: Just like pressing the shutter button halfway, pressing this button initiates autofocus. See Chapter 8 for more information on when this option can come in handy.

      ❯❯ AE Lock/FE Lock/Index/Reduce button: As you can guess from the official name of this button, it serves many purposes. The first two are related to still-image capture functions: You use the button to lock in the autoexposure (AE) settings and to lock flash exposure (FE). Chapter 7 details both issues. When using Live View and Movie modes, this button serves only as an exposure lock.

      This button also serves two image-viewing functions: It switches the display to Index mode, enabling you to see multiple image thumbnails at once, and it reduces the magnification of an individual image after zooming in. Chapter 5 explains Playback, and Chapter 4 covers Live View and Movie modes.

      ❯❯ AF Point Selection/Magnify button: When you use certain advanced shooting modes, you can press this button to specify which of the autofocus points you want the camera to use when establishing focus. Chapter 8 tells you more. In Playback, Live View, and Movie modes, you use this button to magnify the image display (thus the plus sign in the button’s magnifying glass icon). See Chapters 4 and 5 for help with that function.

      ❯❯ Quick Control, or Q, button: You press this button to enter Quick Control mode, which offers one avenue for changing critical picture-taking settings. See “Changing Settings Via the Quick Control Screen” to learn more about this camera feature.

      For expediency’s sake, we refer to this button from this point forward as just the Q button.

      ❯❯ Playback button: Press this button to switch the camera into picture-review mode. Chapter 5 details playback features.

      ❯❯ Set button and Multi-controller: Figure 1-15 points out the Set button and surrounding controller, known as the Multi-controller. These buttons team up to perform several functions, including choosing options from the camera menus.

      You work the Multi-controller by pressing one of the eight tiny arrows around its perimeter. In this book, the instruction “Press the Multi-controller right” means to press the right arrow, for example.

      ❯❯ Quick Control dial: The Quick Control dial surrounds the Set button and the Multi-controller. Rotating the dial offers a handy way to quickly scroll through options and settings. It’s a timesaver, so we point out when to use it as we provide instructions throughout the book.

      ❯❯ Erase button: Sporting a trash can icon (the universal symbol for delete), this button erases pictures from your memory card. Chapter 5 has specifics. In Live View and Movie modes, covered in Chapter 4, this button is involved in the focusing process.

      ❯❯ Multi Function Lock switch: You can rotate this switch up, in the direction of the arrow, to lock the Quick Control dial so that you don’t accidentally move the dial and change a camera setting that you aren't intending to modify. If you want an even larger safety net, you can set things up so that the switch also locks the Main dial, the Multi-controller, and the touchscreen (when shooting). The section “Setting up the Lock switch,” toward the end of this chapter, has details.

      ❯❯ Speaker: When you play movies, the sound emanates from the speaker.

Front odds and ends

On the front-left side of the camera body are a few more things of note, labeled in Figure 1-16.

       FIGURE 1-16: Press the Flash button to bring the built-in flash out of hiding.

      ❯❯ Flash button: Press this button to bring the camera’s built-in flash out of hiding when you use the P, Tv, Av, M, B, C1, or C2 exposure modes. In the other modes, whether the flash pops up depends on the flash mode setting, which we explain in Chapter 2.

      ❯❯ Lens-release button: Press this button to disengage the lens from the lens mount so that you can remove it from the camera. See the first part of this chapter for details on mounting and removing lenses.

      ❯❯ Connection port covers: The covers hide ports for connecting the camera to other devices; see the next section for details.

A couple of sensors and a button are on the right side of the camera, as shown in Figure 1-17:

      ❯❯ Remote control sensor: When you use the optional Remote Controller RC-6 wireless remote, the sensor detects the signal from the remote.

      ❯❯ Depth-of-field preview button: When you press this button, the image in the viewfinder offers an approximation of the depth of field that will result from your aperture setting, or f-stop. Chapter 8 provides details.
