Rear camera controls
The rear camera controls are handy for mak-
ing quick adjustments while you’re shoot-
ing. In particular, you’ll likely use the WB
(White Balance), Menu, Playback, and AF
Point Selection/Magnify (Autofocus) but-
tons often.
Your ability to use some of the rear camera
controls depends on the shooting mode
you’re using. In automatic modes such as
Portrait, Landscape, and Sports, pressing the
Av, WB, and Drive Mode Selection buttons
has no eff ect because the camera sets these
functions automatically. But in the Creative
Zone modes such as P, Tv, Av, M, and A-DEP,
these buttons function as described next.
If you press the WB (White
Balance), AF (Autofocus), or
other buttons on the camera
and nothing happens, check the
