Is the rear select dial on the c80 customizable like the c70?

Greetings Danielcew,

Per review of the specifications and functions of the EOS C80 camera, the Select Dial will function similarly to the Select Dial function of the EOS C70 camera. The user guide for the EOS C80 camera can be viewed by clicking on the following link:

I really appreciate your reply, Natalya. While the select dial will work in similarly while in menus as the C70, I do not see the ability to be able to customize the select dial to function out of menus as you can with the front control dial or the rear control dial. For example, you can set either of those dials to control ISO/GAIN, White Balance, Iris etc while in the shooting mode. A recent firmware update to the C70 allowed the select dial to behave in the same manner. I don't believe the C80 allows the select dial to be customized to change settings as the front/rear control dials can. Perhaps in a future firmware update??
