Only)

Note: Several Features, Defaults, and Button
functions can be customized via App settings and
may function differently than described here. (see
‘Settings’ info on the in-App info pages for more
details).

Clear

Currently active functions can be cancelled by
pressing the side button

(see page 11).

This causes

operations such as Flash Disabled, Flash Exposure
Lock, and Profile Bracketing to deactivate and
return-to-normal. Turning the camera on also
performs this clear operation.
