Capturing Images with Advanced Setting Menu
— CAMERA MENU —
This chapter explains how to use the LIVE menu and [CAMERA MENU] screens to observe and capture images with
desired conditions.
8.1
Basic Operations of Photographing
This section explains operations common among different camera menus.
8.1.1
Using a scene mode or custom setting
The DS-L4 provides some scene modes, each of which is a set of photographing conditions suited for a typical subject. By
selecting a scene mode, you can perform photographing with the settings appropriate for the subject.
The DS-L4 also provides custom settings. You can register a maximum of seven sets of photographing conditions (such as
the image mode, exposure mode, white balance) as custom settings. You can use one of these custom settings as you would
a scene mode.
If you do not use a scene mode or custom setting, select [NEUTRAL].
(1) Using a scene mode
You may want to adjust the contrast or hue in accordance with the photographed subject, or may want to photograph with
desired settings.

Settings at the power-on time
The selected scene mode is saved when the power is turned off, and restored the next time the power is turned
on. However, if the DS-L4 is set to enable the custom setting at the time of startup, selection of the custom setting
takes precedence.
For details, refer to "13.2.1 (1) Calling a custom setting at startup".
