Advanced Settings (M-REC):  Extra Functions

The above settings can be used in combination.  For example, it
is possible to use 

VGA SHOT

 together with any combination

of 

DIGITAL TELE

 and 

AE LOCK

.  Note however that

digital zoom cannot be used in combination with either 

FISHEYE

or 

WIDEADAPTER

; nor can 

FISHEYE

 be used at the same

time as 

WIDEADAPTER

.  Similarly, 

BLACK&WHITE

cannot be used together with 

VGA SHOT

.

To use the settings in the extra functions menu, highlight the
desired effect  and press the shutter button.  An “X” will appear
in the box to the left of the item.  You can then select additional
items if desired.  If mutually exclusive items, such as 

FISHEYE

and 

WIDEADAPTER

, are selected, only the item most

recently chosen will be selected.  To deselect an item, highlight
it and press the shutter button.  To put the selected items into
effect, highlight 

EXECUTE

 and press the shutter button.

When any of the items in the extra function menu are in effect,
an “X” will appear in the box next to 

EXTRA FUNC

 in the

shooting menu.  To exit the extra functions menu without
putting the selected items into effect, highlight 

BK

 and press

the shutter button to return to the shooting menu, or press the
MENU button to restore the view through the lens.

Extra function settings are only effective when the selector dial
is set to M-REC and will be ignored when the camera is in A-
REC mode.  To restore default settings, select 

RESET ALL

from the shooting menu (see “

Restoring Default Settings

,” be-

low).  Individual effects can be turned off by opening the extra
functions menu and deselecting the item.

LCD Brightness

It is possible to adjust the brightness of the color LCD monitor,
making the image in the monitor easier to see, without affecting
the brightness of photographs taken with the camera (to adjust
the brightness of photographs, use the image adjustment set-
tings discussed above under “

Image Adjustment

”).  To adjust the

brightness of the color monitor, highlight 

LCD BRIGHT

 in the

shooting menu and press the shutter button.  The following
window will appear.

 

Using the zoom switch, select the desired setting by highlighting

–

, 

0

, or 

+

 and pressing the shutter button.  A setting of 

–

 will

darken the display slightly, while 

+

 results in a slightly brighter

display.  These settings are not cumulative; selecting 

–

 twice in a

row will only darken the display by the same amount as select-
ing 

–

 once.  LCD brightness settings remain in effect even when

the selector dial is set to A-REC or PLAY.  Select 

0

 in the

window above to restore normal brightness.

To exit the LCD brightness window without changing monitor
brightness, highlight 

 BK

 and press the shutter button to

return to the shooting menu, or press the MENU button to
restore the view through the lens.
