Part I: Fast Track to Super Snaps
Ordering from menus
You access many camera’s features via internal menus, which, conveniently
enough, appear on the monitor when you press the Menu button, located
atop the upper-left corner of the camera back. Features are grouped into the
menus described in Table 1-1.
Some menu functions and even entire menus appear only when you set the
Mode dial to one of the advanced exposure modes (P, Tv, Av, M, and A-DEP).
Similarly, the three Movie menus appear only when the Mode dial is set to
the Movie setting.
In case you didn’t notice, the icons that represent the menus are color-coded.
The Shooting and Movie menus have red icons; the Setup menus sport yellow
icons; the Playback menus have a blue symbol; and the My Menu icon is
green. (Chapter 11 explains the My Menu feature, through which you can
create your own, custom menu.)
