Hold button and turn dial

The ISO sensitivity, metering mode, drive mode, flash mode and white balance buttons on the exterior of the DSC-R1 are used in combination with the main command dial. As soon as you hold a button a row of icons appear at the bottom of the display (EVF or LCD) which allow you to see the currently selected option and available options. The exception to this is ISO sensitivity which is always displayed on the status line at the very bottom of the display.
