Using M (User Setting Mode)

Setting combinations frequently used in shooting (user setting) can be saved in M.
The saved settings can be immediately retrieved for shooting simply by rotating the
mode dial to M. This is convenient when you want to shoot with these settings or
you only want to change the settings slightly. Shooting is possible in j
(Programmed auto), k (Shutter-priority auto), l (Aperture-priority auto), and m
(Manual). The following settings can be saved in M.
