Menu Functions The Main Dial is used to select the menu tab; the Quick Control Dial is used to select the menu option (each tabbed menu does not require vertical scrolling). Then, the SET button is pressed to register the setting. This ease of operation is new. (With the EOS 5D and 30D, the Quick Control Dial is used to scroll. With the EOS Digital Rebel XTi/400D Digital, the Cross keys are used to select the tab and menu option. This operation method makes it quick and easy to find and set the menu option from among the many menus organized under nine tabs (Shooting 1 & 2, Playback 1 & 2, Set-up 1, 2, & 3, Custom Functions, and My Menu). All the menu items are visible on one screen. Also, the tab design has been changed to make it easier to distinguish; it also becomes bigger when selected. With the Multi-Controller, only the menu tab and first layer of menu options can be selected. Pressing the center does not set anything. It also does not work with the second layer of menu options and beyond. On one screen, up to 7 menu options can be displayed. This is one fewer than the 8 items the EOS-1D Mark II N's screen can show. However, together with the bigger 3.0-inch screen, the EOS-1D Mark III's menus are easier to read. IX.
