main command dial (Figure A- t ), sub-command dial (Figure A- !5 ), and AF-ON button (Figure A- r )
for use when taking photographs in vertical (“tall,” or portrait) orientation. These controls perform
the same functions as the corresponding controls on the camera. See the camera manual for
more information.

AF-ON in the camera Custom Settings menu (Group f ) also apply to the multi selector, command
dials, and AF-ON button on the MB-D12. Regardless of the option selected for Multi selector,
pressing the center of the MB-D12 multi selector will not activate the exposure meters.

trols on the MB-D12 to prevent unintended
use. Before using these controls to take photo-
graphs in vertical (portrait) orientation, release
the lock as shown at right.
The control lock is not a power switch. Use the
camera power switch to turn the camera on
and off .
