Step 7
This is the menu where you can customise the performance of the Camera control button. There’s also a huge preview window with the camera control being displayed which updates in real time as you press the button. This allows you to check the sensitivity of the button, where you can select ‘Lighter’, ‘Default’, or ‘Firmer’. Then, as you press the camera control button, the preview will show you when the button recognises your press as it glows blue (as highlighted in the screenshot above). You can also turn off the ‘Show adjustments’ option for light press. Then, you can also select the double light-press speed so you can double light-press the button at your own pace. Finally, you can also disable the Camera Control entirely if you aren’t fond of it.
