Introduction—Getting to Know the Camera
The Command Dials
The main- and sub-command dials are used alone or in combination with
other controls to adjust a variety of settings. For ease of access when taking
photographs in tall (portrait) orientation, dials that duplicate the functions
of the main and sub-command dials have been placed close to the shutter-
release button for vertical shooting (
