Grid . See section 4.2.6 for this submenu.

Miscellaneous values . See section 4.2.7 for this submenu.
f
DOF Calculator . See section 4.2.8 for this submenu.
f
RAW . The RAW Showing submenu controls the display of information
related to shooting in RAW format. The entry Show RAW state controls
whether RAW-related information is shown at all. If yes, the subentry
Show RAW shoot remain controls whether the number of remaining
RAW images is shown. A warning is given if this number falls below the
value specified in the subentry
Warning threshold .
f
Battery . The Battery Showing submenu controls the display of battery-
related information such as symbol, level (percent), and current voltage.
In addition, it allows you to set reference values for the maximum and
minimum voltage. When set up correctly, the level will move within the
full range from 0 to 100 percent. To use this function, first enable
Show
Battery Voltage . Now you can determine the voltage of a freshly loaded
battery and the voltage of the battery shortly before the camera powers
off due to battery exhaustion. When you have found out these values,
you may want to dial them in under
Battery MAX Voltage and Battery
MIN Voltage .
f
Filespace . The Filespace showing submenu controls the display of mem-
ory space information. It determines whether to show a filespace icon
and a vertical or horizontal space bar. The length and thickness of the
bar can be controlled in the subentries
Size on screen and Width/Height .
The free space in the memory card can be shown as a percentage of its
total capacity or as an absolute value in MB. Again, warnings can be
given if this free space falls below a defined threshold, which can be
specified in both percentage and MB.
f
Clock . The Clock submenu controls the display of the system clock. The
entry Show Clock can be switched to Don’t , Normal (hh:mm), and
Seconds (hh:mm:ss). The Clock format can be switched to 24h or 12h
format, and the 12h clock indicator can be switched between PM , P , and
a period. The entry @Shutter halfpress show controls if and how the
clock is displayed when the shutter button is half-pressed ( Don’t , Full ,
Seconds (only)).
f
Show OSD in Review Mode . This submenu controls whether OSD infor-
mation is shown in Review Mode . ( Review Mode is activated when you
hold the shutter button down after a shot and press FUNC/SET .) On my
SD1100, however, this feature seemed to be broken; the OSD informa-
tion was always shown in this mode, independent of the settings.
