• Assigning Live View Mode to a Button
If Live view is selected for Custom Setting f5 (Assign FUNC. button, pg. 320)
and a
mode dial is set to mode other than ~ or Mup, the Fn button can be
used
to turn live view mode on and off. This allows the self-timer to be used
in live view mode. Note
that the camera will use the release mode selected
with the release mode dial (pg. 84) rather than the mode selected in the
Release mode menu. If desired, this function can also be assigned to the
depth-of-field preview
button (pg. 324) or the AE-UAF-L button (pg. 325).
