Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
At step ST 2 , an assign key changing item is selected from menu items. At step ST 3 , an assign key to which a function is assigned is selected. At step ST 4 , a function to be assigned is selected. The selected function is assigned to the selected assign key. At step ST 5 , a setting result indication screen appears. When one of two paired functions is assigned, a message which prompts a user to assign the other function. After the message has appeared for a predetermined time, the latest assigned states appear. At step ST 6 , the latest assign key information is stored to a non-volatile memory. To quit an assigning process, a menu button 8 is pressed and the menu is closed (at step ST 8 ).
