In mode with the exposure compensation dial set to [ ] and the ring and dial set to [ STD ], exposure compensation can be adjusted with the dial while the metering timer is running.
Options you can set with the ring vary depending on the shooting mode (whether the camera is in / / / mode, or / mode).
To restore [ Custom Controls ] defaults, choose [ Reset camera ] -> [ Other settings ] -> [ Custom Controls ] -> [ OK ].
Some functions you configure may not apply (may be disabled) in Movie mode.

Options you can set when [ STD ] is assigned

When the ring is not assigned to [ STD ] but the dial is, you can use the dial to set Program Shift in mode, shutter speed in mode, or aperture value in mode.
When the dial is assigned to [ STD ] in / mode, you can use it to set shutter speed (or aperture value) when the ring is assigned to [ ] (or [ ]).
