✦ Custom Settings menu bank.
Similar to the Shooting menu bank,
this is where you store Custom
Settings. The banks are A, B, C, or
D. This bank is chosen in the CSM.
For more information on Menu
banks, see Chapter 3.
✦ Auto-exposure bracketing/
WB bracketing indicator.
When
in Auto-exposure bracketing this
appears on the LCD control panel;
when using WB bracketing, a WB
icon also appears above the icon.
✦ AF area mode indicator. This dis-
play shows which AF mode your
camera is currently in.
✦ WB indicator. This shows you
which white balance setting is cur-
rently selected.
✦ WB fine-tuning indicator. When
the white balance fine-tuning fea-
ture is activated these two arrows
are displayed.
✦ Exposures remaining/multi-
function.
By default, this displays
the number of exposures remaining
on your CF card. When you half-
press the Shutter Release button to
focus, the display changes to show
the number of shots remaining in
the camera’s buffer. In preset WB,
the icon PRE appears when the
camera is ready to set a custom WB.
✦ K indicator. This appears when
the number of remaining expo-
sures exceeds 1000. This is not
to be confused with the K that
may appear in the WB area which
is used to denote the Kelvin
temperature.
