(6-3) Setting of program page
The setting operations for the program pages are roughly divided into 2 groups: save (writing the current setting into the
program page) and load (reading out the setting that was previously saved in the program page as the current setting).
More specifically, “save” means overwriting the new setting that was changed from the current one onto one of the
program pages after turning on the power while “load” means the opposite operation that is reading out the setting saved
one of the program pages as the current setting.
The camera operates on information of the
current setting in RAM.

[Explanation] Correlation between current setting and program page
The setting information saved in the program page is automatically read out to RAM (volatile memory) when the
camera is turned on, and that determines the operation of the camera as the current setting.
When the setting of a mode is changed, the older one is overwritten, and the new setting is temporarily effective as
the operation setting for the camera until the power is turned off. The new setting in the program page on RAM,
however, is lost when the power is turned off, and the old setting before power-on will be effective for the operation of
the camera.
Accordingly, it is absolutely necessary to write the new setting in one of the program pages from “A” to “F” to save it.
The setting saved in the program page can be read out for use by the loading operation (including automatic load at
power-on) as described later.
●
Automatic load at power-on
When the power is turned on, the camera automatically loads the
setting stored in one of the program page from “A” to “F”, which
determines the operation of the camera.
The program page of which setting is automatically loaded is
determined by the position of the (virtual) mode switch at the time of
power-on.
(Note) Note that the setting of the program page “A” is automatically
loaded when the switch is at any position other than “B” to “F”.
●
Manual load/save
Manual load/save of the setting from/to the program page can be enabled when setting the mode switch to one of the
positions from “A” to “F” and manipulate the UP/DOWN switch after the power is turned on.
(Note) This saving operation must be performed to keep the new setting effective for later use after changing it.
