Is it possible to reassign the 2D/3D switch to MF/AF function?

As per title referring to NX 45mm 2D/3D version, is it possible to reassign the 2D/3D button/switch to MF/AF function if paired with NX1? My old EM-1 lets you reassign all kinds of things to whatever button so was hoping if it is possible with Samsung.

However I do fear this button's purpose is to 'physically' change something inside the lens so it may not be possible, nevertheless asking the question. Thanks.

Not possible at all.

I almost brought the 3d one. Was so glad I didn't. I love the mf slider. I know that doesn't help the op. But I was so close to going 3d.

Although it's nice to have the switch, personally I don't think it's that big a deal as on the NX1 you have a dedicated AF button on the camera itself. Granted you have to then select the AF mode and then OK but for me that's OK.

What makes you say that?  It should be possible with the NX1 hack.  May take some clever poking around though.  At least I don't think it makes the physical change directly, I could be wrong though.

I ordered and paid for the 2D version but they turned around next day and said they do not have stock and it is on back order with no ETA at all.

3D version they had in stock and was fifty odd dollars extra so ended up buying that before it was gonna go out of stock as well!

OP didnt ask for any hacks, and I dont use any hacks on my cameras. Therefore what he asked is not possible. At least without a hack.

Very true.  I mostly use my nx45 on my nx500 where it really matters.

I still think it is worth mentioning because he also did not rule out hacks.
