Preference of a photographer you quick access to the settings of the important parameters for his recordings, sees the other is also a risk that it could so easily lightbox lead to accidental adjustments. So can certainly also on top of the Canon EOS 40D sublime mounted buttons for the setting of ISO, exposure compensation, AF mode, frame rate, exposure metering mode and white balance discuss controversial. Safety fanatics advocate a lowered position, to speed commanded the photographer chosen by Canon way will prefer. The only question is: Why then the double lightbox assignment of the keys?
