EXAMPLES-Changing the Settings of Some Common Parameters
Following this page, you will find tables listing all of the parameters found in the
SETUP Menu, along with their possible settings (or range of settings), and a detailed
description of what the parameter controls and what the settings do. If you read the
previous section detailing how to select parameters and change their settings, you
should be able to dive right in, find the parameter(s) you want, and setup the camera
to suit your preferences. But maybe you'd rather walk through an example or two first:
To change any parameter's setting, always start with the power switch in the SETUP
position. After the LCD comes on, press the MENU key.
The first parameter you will see when you enter the SETUP Menu is "Set Clock". As
the Time Stamp feature is "On" by default, the camera will normally imprint the date
and time on each photo or video, based on your settings here. Press OK and use
the UP/DOWN keys to set the hour (24-hr format, "00"=midnight, "12"=noon), then
press the RIGHT key move to the minute field and set it (again using UP/DOWN).
Press RIGHT to move to the lower row and set the year, month and date using the
same method. When finished, press the OK key to confirm the new time and date
settings you made.
Now press the RIGHT key two times to move to another parameter in the Menu. The
next parameter you will see is "Mode". To change it from its default setting of "Camera"
(still photos) to "Video" (shoot video clips), press the DOWN key to select the "Video"
setting. Press the OK key to "Execute" (Set) the new setting you've selected for this
parameter.
Now press the RIGHT key to move to another parameter in the Menu. Pressing it
four times will take you to "Video Length". Try using the UP and DOWN keys to scroll
through the range of settings, then press OK to lock in your setting for the length of
each video clip the camera shoots.
Pressing the RIGHT key several more times will get you to the "Default Set"
parameter. Highlight or select "Execute" (using UP or DOWN) and press OK to
restore all parameters (including the Mode and Video Length parameters you changed
a minute ago) back to their original factory default settings. The default settings for
each parameter are indicated in bold type in the SETUP Menu tables on the next
several pages.
