Functions that work with the casing include: mode selection, menu, ISO, auto-focus mode, metering mode, exposure compensation, white balance, image quality and size, focus mode selection, zoom control with the standard lens port, playback, trash, multi-selector control, monitor zoom, magnified optical viewfinder and light control for the LCD screen.
