Menu mode has a hierarchical structure and uses prompts and
dialog boxes familiar to anyone who has used an Automated Teller
Machine (ATM). The only constraint on using the menu is your own
response speed.
If no selection is made within 2-1/2 minutes
following Menu mode startup, the console will automatically
revert to Preview mode
. The same time constraint applies to
selections within submenus.
If you do not respond to a prompt
(indicated by a flashing word or line of text) within 2-1/2
minutes, the H16 will switch back to Preview mode
—its default operating state.
To access the main menu, press the
OK
button to enter Menu mode. Doing so brings up the
screen shown at right.
To navigate the main menu, use the
▲
and
▼
buttons to move up and down until the parameter
you wish to change is highlighted in red. Then push the
OK
button to select it and call up its
submenu.
The
DELETE ALL
line gives you two options (yes and no) that can be selected using the
▲
and
▼
buttons. The sequence is similar to the previously described procedure for deleting an
individual photo or video.
The
AV OUTPUT
line allows you to send the real-time video stream shown on the display unit out
through the unit’s TV out jack to an NTSC or PAL TV monitor. The H16’s display will turn black
until you select this option again. Before activating this function, make the physical connection
described in the “Viewing Live Video on a TV Monitor” section. If you have forgotten to make the
connection, you will be prompted “
NO AVOUT CABLE
” when you attempt to activate this
function.
The
DATE/TIME
line allows you to set the H16’s calendar and clock. Doing so is necessary only if
you wish to keep track of your photo and video files by date and time.
When
DATE/TIME
is selected, the first screen that appears shows the year in red. To decrease
the value by one, press the
button. To increase the value by one, press the
button. Once
you have set the year, advance to the next field—the month—by pressing the
▼
button. Set the
month as you did the year, by using the
▲
and
▼
buttons to increase or decrease the value by
one unit per button press. Repeat this process until all six date and time fields have been set.
Then push the
OK
button to save the settings. To back up from any field to the previous field,
press the
▲
button.
The lower line of the
DATE/TIME
screen allows you to choose whether or not to superimpose the
date and time on the display in Preview mode. To always superimpose the date and time, navigate
down to the lower line until the word
YES
to the right of the word
DISPLAY
is shown in red. Press
the
OK
button to save the setting. To NOT superimpose the date and time, when
YES
is shown in
red press the
button to change
YES
to
NO
. Then press the
OK
button to save the setting.
The
LANGUAGE
line of the main menu allows you to view the main menu, as well as the
DELETE
screens for individual photos and videos, in any of 27 languages (see the Specifications section
on page 16 for a complete list). Use the
▲
and
▼
buttons to navigate to the language you wish
to use and then push the
OK
button.
