The Mode dial has positions for iAuto (intelligent), Program AE, Aperture and Shutter priorities, full Manual, Custom, Color, SCN, Night portrait, Sports, Macro, Landscape, and Portrait exposure modes. The Drive mode selector and main power switch are mounted around it.
Next, we have the 4-way controller. It's used to navigate the menu system, press it 'up' to adjusts the ISO, 'right' for white balance, 'down' for Fn (default is metering mode) , and left to choose the AF area mode. Lastly we have the Preview/image delete button.
