Is there any way to enable simple access to functions I often use?

Focus, white balance, EV shift, and other Control Panel and menu item functions can be assigned to the L/Y Key, U/D Key, Control Dial or Function Ring, which makes it easy to change their settings when required.Functions that can be assigned to the Function Ring depend on the recording mode.
Available options for the "L/R Key" or the "U/D Key" setting
• CS
• ND Filter
• White Balance
• ISO
• ISO High Limit
• Off
* When the focus mode is Manual Focus (MF), focus can be adjusted using the left/right keys.
NOTE
• Assigning functions to the up/down keys disables their normal up key (DISP) function (which changes the monitor screen contents) and down key function (which changes the flash setting).
• The same function cannot be assigned to multiple controllers (keys, control dial).
• Depending on the recording mode, some functions may not be assignable to the"L/R Key" or the "U/D Key".
Functions that can be assigned to the Control Dial *
• EV Shift
• White Balance
• ISO
• ISO High Limit
• Self-timer
• Focus
• Off
* The control dial operates as described below in the M (Manual Exposure) recording mode.
• When a function other than “Aperture” is assigned to the function ring, rotating the control dial adjusts aperture.
• When “Aperture” is assigned to the function ring, rotating the dial adjusts shutter speed.
NOTE
• Depending on the recording mode, some functions may not be assignable to the Control Dial.
• The same function cannot be assigned to multiple controllers (keys, control dial).
To assign functions to the Function Ring
1. In the REC mode, press [RING].
2. Use the <up>, <down>, <left>, and <right> keys or rotate the Function Ring to select the function you want to assign, and then press [SET].
NOTE
• Assigning "Step Zoom" to the Function Ring makes it possible to adjust optical zoom with the Function Ring.
• "MF" cannot be assigned while "On" is selected for the Face Detection setting.
