Fn/Fx button setting S5, G99, K-3III

It’s the height of spring, the season of flowers, and since S5 has arrived, I should go out and take more and more pictures, but depending on the day, there is a dangerous amount of cedar pollen in the air, and I’m not able to go out to take pictures. There are days when I can’t go out to take pictures.

So, the following is just a little fill-in-the-blank article from a man who is having trouble finding something to blog about.

One weekend, I voluntarily evacuated indoors. To console myself for my ennui, I set up my three SLR cameras side by side as I mentioned in the title, and solemnly reviewed the default values of each function and the assignment of function buttons (Fn, Fx, etc.) with the aim of standardizing the operation system.

This information is probably of no use to anyone but myself, but as usual, I leave it here as a memorandum.

-Exposure settings
1. The default setting is Aperture Priority AE mode (Av). However, the K-3III uses the invincible Hyper P, which combines Av and Tv.
2. An independent dial is assigned to the exposure compensation so that it can be moved directly at any time.
3. ISO operation uses the default setting button on each model.
4. Button layout for easy AE lock with spot metering (see below).
-AF setting
1. Stubborn thumb AF with a single center distance measurement point that can be moved by using the four-way controller or the cross button.
2.LUMIX G99/S5 uses AF+MF & peaking (a god function of EVF that shows you the focus position by illuminating in the viewfinder) by default.
3. Basically, AFC is used as the fixed position. However, the G99 uses AFF (AFS/AFC auto switching) because the peaking function described in 2. above does not work with AFC.
-Fx/Fn button and other settings
I tried to assign buttons and dials to all three cameras so that they can be used with a similar feel while looking through the viewfinder. We wanted to make the most of the unique functions of each camera, and it would be a penalty game to have to assign buttons with completely different names from the ones on the label, so it was difficult to find a good balance. As a result, we ended up with a compromise product as shown in the table below.(sorry not English)


I tried to unify at least the front and rear dials and the crosshair button controls. Well, it’s a journey. It was a tough task to think about all three at once, even though I had to tweak the settings on one of them as I got used to using them. At any rate, I finished the day’s work by registering these settings on each camera as custom settings.

Well, no matter how you set it up, it doesn’t make any difference to the pictures you can take… No, no… You can’t say that.
At least it was a good way to pass the time during the weekend when I was trapped in the pollen.
