Part I: Fast Track to Super Snaps
Reviewing Basic Setup Options
Your camera offers scads of options for customizing its performance — the
display options covered earlier in this chapter represent just a few of the
ways you can make your camera, well,
yours.
Later chapters explain settings related to actual picture taking, such as those
that affect flash behavior and autofocusing. The rest of this chapter details
additional options related to initial camera setup, such as setting the date
and time, adjusting monitor brightness, and the like.
Cruising the Setup menu
Start your camera cus-
tomization by opening
the Setup menu, as
shown in Figure 1-32. As
you can see, some menu
items are represented
just by icons rather than
text labels. So for easy
reference, I add my own
text labels to those menu
items in the figure.

Date and Time:
Select this option
and press OK to
display the screen
where you can enter
the current date and
time. Press OK when
you finish.
Taking this step is
important because
that information is
recorded as part of the image file. In your photo browser, you can then
see when you shot an image and, equally handy, search for images by
the date they were taken.
✓
Language: This option determines the language of text on the camera
monitor. Scrolling through this list is like a visit to the United Nations —
you can choose from more than 30 languages. Make your selection and
press OK to return to the Setup menu.
