With 6 available buttons to assign I find myself setting and second-guessing what I guess you’d call “camera work flow”
For me it’s;
upper left – ISO
lower left – exp compensation
lower right – AF mode
upper right – mirror lock up (but also used metering mode here when in potential backlit situations)
button – AE-L + AF-L
wheel – shooting modebut I must admit I’m not sure. Read where some use the button for AF-L and of course one can set the wheel for short or long press
So just curious as to others usage…
thanks
When I shoot with the S2, here is what I set the buttons to:
- Upper Left: ISO
- Lower Left: Drive Mode (gives me easy access to 2-Second Self Timer which incorporates mirror lockup)
- Upper Right: Exposure Compensation (especially useful now that no button press is needed to confirm the selection, and is visible live in the viewfinder)
- Lower Right: Bracketing (a feature we use a lot, especially with the new “auto” feature)
- Front Button: Depth of Field preview when shooting landscape, and Key Lock when working in the studio so we don’t accidentally change any settings.
- Rear AF button: Always set this to auto focus, the shutter I use for AE lock.
- Rear wheel: Always set to “Long Push” to avoid accidental mode changes
Here we go:
Upper left: ISO
Lower left: Bracketing
Upper right: Exposure Compensation
Lower right: Mirror Lockup (I do change from time to time the Drive Mode but as it is only two clicks away to get there I prefered Mirror Lockup.)
Rear Button: AF-L (AE-L with half-pressed shutter)
Wheel – Long Push (Haven’t played with this button so far.)
