Custom button on A700

[Lone Wolf]

Just wondering what other A700 users set their custom button for.
I found that the dof review button is in a real awkward position and practically unreachable if you use the VG and shoot in portrait orientation. I am really glad that they gave us a custom button as I have now set it to dof review.
Also can anyone advise if they have image styles "clear", "deep" and "light" mentioned in page 68 of the manual? Why can't I find these in my "creative style menu"?

I am wondering if my other settings prevent these from popping up.

i set my "C" custom button to select for the different DRO levels... cos I find that i adjust the DRO more often than I adjust the different styles. :)

Otoh, I find that the DRO works well enough in almost every situation and feel no need to take manual control as yet. As such, I just leave it at DRO+ Advanced.
