Shortcuts

Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, and Global mode
contain numerous parameters and detailed settings. In
each mode, related parameters are organized into eight
groups (Group 1–Group 8).
After entering a mode, you can access a parameter by
pressing the [√ ] or [®] keys to step through the param-
eters one by one, but if you know the group that contains
the desired parameter, it is convenient to use a shortcut
key.
After you enter Normal Edit mode, EX Edit mode, or
Global mode, press one of the PROGRAM [1]–[8] keys
and the first parameter in that group will appear in the
display. Press the [√ ] or [®] keys to view the preceding
or following parameter.
When you press one of the PROGRAM [1]–[8] keys, the
group name corresponding to that key will appear in the
display.
