The following custom control settings are recommended for sports photography:
| Fn1 button | Playback | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Fn2 button | Protect | ||
| AF-ON button | AF-ON | ||
| Center of sub-selector | Select center focus point | ||
| Movie-record button | Focus mode/AF-area mode | ||
| button | Shooting mode | Zoom on/off; zoom ratio 1:1 (100%) | |
| Playback mode | Zoom on/off; zoom ratio 1:1 (100%) | ||
Roles can be assigned to the button via Custom Setting f3 (OK button) and to other controls via Custom Setting f2 (Custom control assignment).
Assigning this role to the Fn1 button lets you start playback with your right hand while supporting the lens with your left, letting you view pictures without taking your eye from the viewfinder.
Assigning this role to an Fn button lets you protect pictures during playback at the touch of a button, saving you the time you would otherwise spend accessing the Protect option in the menu.
If you typically use the sub-selector for focus-point selection, assigning this role to the center of the control lets you use it to quickly choose the center focus point.
Focus and AF-area modes can be selected by holding the control and rotating the main and sub-command dials. This role is normally assigned to the Fn2 button and we recommend you give it to another control when the Fn2 button is reassigned.
Use the button to quickly zoom the display in on the area around the current focus point and check focus before shooting. To choose the zoom ratio, select Custom Setting f3 (OK button) > Shooting mode, highlight Zoom on/off, and press .
Use the button to quickly zoom in on the active focus point during playback and check whether your photos are in focus. To choose the zoom ratio, select Custom Setting f3 (OK button) > Playback mode, highlight Zoom on/off, and press .
