At the default setting of [Sub-command dial], aperture can
only be adjusted with the sub-command dial (or with the
main command dial if [On] is selected for [Change main/
sub]). If [Aperture ring] is selected, aperture can only be
adjusted with the lens aperture ring and the camera aperture
display will show aperture in increments of 1 EV (aperture for
type G lenses is still set using the sub-command dial). If
[Aperture ring] is selected and a CPU lens with an aperture
ring is attached when the mode dial is rotated to a, live view
will not start and the shutter release will be disabled. Note
that regardless of the setting chosen, the aperture ring must
be used to adjust aperture when a non-CPU lens is attached.
At the default setting of [Off ], the multi selector is used to
choose the picture displayed during full-frame playback,
highlight thumbnails, and navigate menus. If [On] is selected,
the main command dial can be used to choose the picture
displayed during full-frame playback, move the cursor left or
right during thumbnail playback, and move the menu
highlight bar up or down. The sub-command dial is used to
display additional photo information in full-frame playback
and to move the cursor up or down during thumbnail
playback. While menus are displayed, rotating the sub-
command dial right displays the sub-menu for the selected
option, while rotating it left displays the previous menu. To
make a selection, press 2, the center of the multi selector, or
J.
