Front and back control dial


Recommended Posts

What camera?

 

With my α9, the front and rear dials can be used in shooting mode to change Aperture or Shutter speed via settings in the menu.

When ISO is selected on the control wheel I can use both front and rear dial to change the value.

 

Basically you have to tell the camera what you want to adjust then use the dials.

 

Press ISO and change the value, without knowing what camera you are using it’s hard to provide further info.

I already set the control wheel for iso but both dials control the only aperture in A mode. I dont see any options to assign features to dials.

If you want control over both Aperture and Shutter then you need to not use A or S. Switch to Program Auto or Manual mode and the dials will work the way you want. If you change the Aperture the Shutter speed will change in A mode and vice-versa in S.

I told you that there are no options to assign dials to control iso.

    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
    • Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!
    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
