K-5 M mode Green button Tv shift

RollsUp · 02-26-2013, 02:18 AM

On my K20D I have the Green button set to Tv shift in M mode in Menu > Custom Setting > #26 > Tv Shift and I would like to know if this can be set in my K-5. I couldn't find this setting in the K-5s menu and in the operating manual.

It is under "e-dial programming" -- you can program what the two dials and the green button do for each mode (2 pages worth of modes). So go to M and set button to Tv Shift...

Nice! I was just looking for this last week didn't think to look under e-dial programming.

Another way to do this (if the green button is set to P Line) is set the exposure with the green button and then hit the AE-L button. Then you can change either shutter speed or aperture to what you want using the appropriate dial and the other parameter will change as necessary to maintain proper exposure.
