Notes:

You can only see eight options on the screen at the same time. Pointers at the top/bottom of the screen indicate that there are more options that you can scroll through.

You may often find it convenient to use the wireless controller to move around the menus. Press its MENU button to enter/leave the menu and use its cursor keys in place of those on the camera itself. (In step 6 however, use the 4 cursor key to return to the full menu.)

You can display the menus on a connected TV screen using the wireless controller’s ON SCREEN button.
