Hello, I just got hand on a TL2 ;) and I guess the manual could help out here, but nevertheless:

 

When using T or SL optics on the TL2, is it possible to easily change Shutter and Aperture and ISO?

 

I now have Shutter and Aperture on the two wheels. This is fine as I can change both without removing the eyes from the EVF. But do I have to go to the menu in order to change ISO? If so, this slows down the operation quite a bit...

 

Thanks for your help (and yes, I will read through the manual, eventually...).

I have the camera set to M Manual and Auto ISO.  I use the two wheels to change aperture and shutter speed.

 

That is pretty much how I work with most digital cameras.

 

Except for older cameras with bad high ISO where I work entirely manual but usually those cameras either don't have Auto ISO or they have a very bad implementation anyway...

Yes, in full manual mode (which is what you have set) you have to go into the menu to change ISO.You can't change it with the camera at the eye.

I have ISO as one of my the 'My Camera' icons. ISO is set by touching one of the ISO numbers - scrolling down by touch if you need those not visible.

In summary, I need about three touches to change ISO: touch to reach My Camera, touch ISO, then touch the ISO number (scrolling if necessary). A half press on the shutter brings back liveview.

It sounds a lot of touches, but I find a touch screen quicker than pressing click buttons, and the TL2's screen is very sensitive.

Much appreciated - thanks a lot!

 

After a little playing with the TL2, I must say that I am impressed with the image quality. Very impressed, actually...
