Camera Menus
 |
The EOS 400D's simplified menus are still one page non-scrolling but AF mode, metering mode and ISO sensitivity have been removed (as they now have their own hard button screens) reducing shooting menu 1 to just four options. You navigate menus using the cursor buttons or main dial and can jump quickly between pages with the JUMP button.
Shooting menu 2 is not displayed in any of the 'Basic Zone' modes. |
