Part I: Fast Track to Super Snaps
Adjusting settings via the control strip
Found on the lower-left corner of the camera back, the i button activates a
control strip that gives you quick access to some critical shooting settings.
Here's how to use the control strip for viewfinder photography:
Figure 1-17 :
to adjust and press OK to display the available settings (right).
1 . Display the Information screen.
You can do so by pressing the Info button.
2 . Press the i button.
The top part of the display dims, and the two rows of settings at the bottom
of the screen — which I collectively refer to as the control strip — become
accessible, as shown on the left in Figure 1-17 . The currently selected set-
ting appears highlighted, and its name is displayed at the bottom of the
screen. For example, in the left screen in Figure 1-17 , the AF-area mode
option is selected. Options that are dimmed in the control strip aren't avail-
able in the current exposure mode (Auto, P, Effects, and so on).
Press the i button to activate the control strip (left); highlight the option you want
3 . Use the Multi Selector to highlight the setting you want to change.
4 . Press OK.
A screen displays the available settings for the option, as shown on the
right side of Figure 1-17 .
5 . Use the Multi Selector to highlight the desired option, and press OK.
You're returned to the control strip. You can then adjust another setting,
if needed.
6 . To exit the control strip, press the i button again.
Or just give the shutter button a quick half-press and release it. The
Information display returns to its normal appearance.
