Configuring the Knobs

The MiniJoy provides six knob pages. Each page stores one assignment for each of the four physical knobs.

Select a Page

1. Select Knobs.
2. Use the Page selector to choose Page 1 through Page 6.

The labels below each knob show the functions currently saved on the selected page.

Changing Knob Functions

1. Select any knob tile on the current page.
2. In the configuration drawer, select an assignment for Knob 1, Knob 2, Knob 3, and Knob 4.
3. Select Save all knobs to save all four assignments for the current page.
4. Select another page and repeat as needed.

Verify the Page

After saving, close the drawer and reopen the same page. Confirm that all four tile labels match the intended assignments. Configure and verify each page independently.

The labels shown in the screenshots are example assignments, not factory defaults.

Knob Functions Reference

Knobs 1-3 support both rotate and press functions. During normal camera operation, Knob 4 supports press functions only because rotating it changes knob pages. The Knob 4 column shows which functions can be assigned to it.
