Preset

 

A default setting where you can decide what the default should be. When you hit the STD button 

on an RCP, or ALL PRESET in the menus, you are deleting various values held in the user 

layer, leaving the camera at its preset value. Use STORE USER PRESET or STORE ALL 

PRESET to change the default settings.

Service

 

Think of this as the factory reset level (though factory level is actually another layer down). If you 

clear the user and the preset layers, this is where you end up, as the camera came out of the 

box. (This is done using CLEAR ALL PRESET in the ALL FILE page of the file menu.)

Memory Stick

 

You can store 100 user files, 100 scene files, 100 all files, 100 lens files and a reference file on a 

memory stick. That’s probably enough.
