quently used camera controls are located within fi nger's reach for quick adjustments
as you're shooting. Less frequently used functions are accessible from the camera
menus. The following sections will familiarize you with the T2i/550D controls and their
names — names that are used throughout the book. You can refer back to these fi g-
ures as you read the book to locate the controls you need.
Front camera controls
On the front of the camera, the controls that you'll use most often are the Lens
Release button and the Depth-of-Field Preview button. And, of course, you'll use the
lens mount each time you change lenses.
