Buttons Galore on K10D

I warned you I'd have a million questions. ^.^

I understand that the front dial is to change the speed and the back dial for aperture. Is it possible to custom them so they would be reversed?

For some reason, it makes more sense to me to change the aperture setting in front and vice versa.

Also, Is it possible to display the ISO on the top LCD display or inside the viewfinder? I can never remember at which ISO I've set it at.

Dial functions: Yes, you can change them. Make sure you have version 1.3 of the firmware. Then go to the custom settings, turn them on, then scroll to the page which allows you to choose the function of both of the wheels, in each of the modes.

Regards,

Right! I haven't done that yet. I'm waiting for my battery to be fully discharged and recharged before adding the new firmware.

Will it also display the ISO?

ISO value shows in viewfinder when Sensitivity priority Mode/Shutter & Aperture priority mode is selected.

It also displays in the top panel when certain modes are selected.

I would suggest that it's worth spending some time going through the Custom Settings menu, looking at all the possible settings.

Even if you decide that you don't want to change many of them to something other than the default, it will give you a good idea of what can be customised and how.

If you do this with the manual open at p33, you'll see a handy reference to other pages in the manual that elaborate on some of these - and the ones that don't have their own section seem to be fairly self-explanatory anyway.

There's way more in there than I would ever have wondered about independently, so I think it's worth going through it systematically just to see what's in there.
