How to operate the main back dial on the EOS 1D Mark II, EOS 1D Mark II N, and EOS 1Ds Mark II.

Solution

The <> dial is used for AF point selection and selecting the desired setting on the LCD monitor. This <> dial works only when the <> switch is set to <ON>.

There are three ways to use the <> dial:


While pressing a button, turn the <> dial.
  • In this way, you can select and set various menu settings or set flash exposure compensation. When you let go of the button, the selected setting takes effect.
  • You can also review and select images on the LCD monitor with this dial.
After pressing a button, turn the <> dial.

When you press a button, its function remains on for 6 seconds ().  During this time, you can turn the <> dial to the desired setting.

After the button turns off or if you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will be ready to shoot.

  • In this way, you  can select the AF point or set the desired amount of exposure compensation.
Turn the <> dial only.

While turning the <> dial, look at the setting in the viewfinder or on the top LCD panel.

  • In this way, you can set the aperture in the camera' s manual exposure mode.
