4.2 User levels
Four user levels can be set up (0.. 3) that restrict the group of functions which can be changed.
In this way, the danger of accidentally changing critical functions while shooting can be
reduced.
User level 0 locks most of the operational controls and is not normally used for operational
purposes. The recommended minimum user level is 1. For full control, set the level to 3.
If some menu items are dimmed (grey) they may be locked for the set user level. Change the
user level in the
SYSTEM > SECURITY > USER LEVEL
menu.
Tip
✎
To limit access to camera functions, you can set a maximum user level in the
SYSTEM > MAX USER LEVEL
in the Viewfinder menu.
