MENU. Select the wrench icon, select ALL
RESET, toggle it OFF and press OK.
VIEWING AND ERASING PICTURES
Set the mode dial to the playback mode position

displayed for about 3 seconds. Use the arrow
keys, or the control dial, to scroll through the
images.

CAMERA ADJUSTMENT OPTIONS
ISO – You can adjust the camera’s sensitivity
to light. Press the OK button on the back of the
camera, the left cursor button, and then the up
and down cursor buttons to change ISO. Speeds
from 50 to 400 are available, or select Auto to
have the camera choose for you. Note that the
200 and 400 speeds will produce a noisy, less
sharp image, and should be avoided unless hand-
holding the camera in low light.
Focus – The “AF/Macro/MF” button sets the
focusing mode. Options are Autofocus, Macro,
Manual Focus, Super Macro, and Manual Super
Macro. The up and down cursor buttons adjust
manual focus distance.
White Balance – For best results, use the
manual white balance feature. Fill the frame
with a completely neutral white or grey object.
Hold the WB button and scroll down to the white
balance symbol. Press OK, the right cursor
button, then OK again. If there is no neutral
object in the vicinity, use Auto WB.
