insomnia Posted August 16, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2022 25 - as is (Info Profiles) 20 - EVF / Display Switch 3 - Drive Mode 4 - Exposure Mode 9 - Center AF Field (although this feature is buggy) 10 - also Info Profiles I shoot Auto-ISO 99 % of the time, so no dedicated button. Dials depend on if the lens is manual or not (M-Lens --> exposure compensation + zoom) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also considering to assign exposure compensation to either Fn 3 or 4 button as I am constantly knocking off exposure by hitting the rear thumbwheel while holding the camera. So my question is does assigning exposure compensation to a Fn button cancel the exposure compensation from the rear thumbwheel? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my question is does assigning exposure compensation to a Fn button cancel the exposure compensation from the rear thumbwheel? No, assigning exposure compensation to a button does not cancel EC with the wheel. I shoot often in M mode with Auto-ISO, and use EC via button to adjust ISO offset.

insomnia Posted August 17, 2022 Share #8 Posted August 17, 2022 I think there was an option already with the M9 that the EC wheel only works if the shutter is half pressed, I liked that option. However, I haven't yet accidentally toggled the wheel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the reason I prefer the 4-button layout of S, and adopted on SL. That the image review is fixed and located on the right side of the screen on SL2x means that the camera has to be moved from the eye in order for the right button to find/press the review button. At least for me. With the three-button layout, and without the possibility to set the review button, design and minimalism seem to have trumped user experience.

Jean-Michel Posted August 17, 2022 Share #10 Posted August 17, 2022 What I find most helpful is installing a clear furniture or picture frame number on the FN button (25), and a smaller one on the bottom part of the front rocker (10). It gives me much more tactile feel for where those buttons are. I also have a small bumper on the front button of my M-P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting to see what you guys and girls have set 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
