Hi socaljd!

 

Thanks for posting.

 

When setting this up, there are a few things to know.  At the top of the chart in the menu for setting up the dial is M, AV, TV, and P.

 

 M:  Manual mode

 AV:  Aperture Priority mode

 TV:  Shutter Priority mode

 P:  Program mode

 

Under each of those, you need to set which function is contolled by the dial for that mode are shooting in.  There are two settings to choose from, TV: shutter speed and AV: aperture.  For example, under M:  Manual mode you set it to TV,  the dial will control the shutter speed while you are shooting in the Manual mode.
