Is it only possible to assign one custom function to each button such as the Preview button?

 

What I was under the impression was possible was to set a function for the button when pressed alone then another function for that same button but when used with the command dial.

 

So, what I wanted to do was use the Preview button to switch from a single focus point to 9 but then when the Preview button was press and the Command dial was turned be able to switch to DX mode on my D850.

 

Guessing that I can only do one or the other? I can always use the FN 1 button for one of these custom functions but just wanted to make sure I understand the options/limits correctly.

 

Thanks!

Some combinations can be set to press/press and dial. They aren't independent from each other, so sometimes setting one will set the existing function to null.

 

Understanding what combinations go together isn't easy, but you will have to try what works and what doesn't.

Thanks Merco_61

 

I was going around in circles trying to set the buttons only to have as you pointed out having the previous option turn off. Will go with plan B.
