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 first enter the
SETUP
Menu
is “Mode”. To change it from its default setting of “Camera” (still photos)
to “Video” (shoot video clips), press the
DOWN
key to highlight “Video”
(119477 only) or to select the “Video” setting (std. display models). 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 three times will take you to “Capture Number”. Try using the
UP
and
DOWN
keys to scroll through the range of settings, then press
OK
to
lock in your setting for the number of photos the camera takes each time it's
triggered.
Pressing the
RIGHT
key until you reach the last menu item, you'll see 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.
Be sure to set the current date and time, using the “Set Clock” parameter, if you
choose to change the “Time Stamp” parameter setting to “On” since that will tell
the camera to imprint the date and time on each of the images it captures.
