Using the Optional Settings and Special Features
To change settings such as resolution and quality, press the MODE button once so that the main screen is displayed. Next, press the "down" button on the 4-way keypad. You will see the first setting screen, resolution. You have two options, high (VGA-recommended) or low resolution. To toggle between these two settings, press the "up" button on the 4-way keypad. The icon for resolution will change from two stars (high res) to one star (low res). After choosing a setting, press MODE to go to the next screen, the quality setting. Again, use the "up" button to select your preferred quality (HQ-recommended) or SQ. The remaining two option screens, for USB mode and line frequency, operate the same way. See "Settings/Options" for more details on each of these.
The inset display is an STN type, as found on many cell phones. As its quality is not comparable to more expensive LCD displays, it is intended primarily for icon display, and basic review-to verify that you took a photo you intended to, or find a previous photo and delete it. To review photos, press the "left" button on the 4-way keypad. Then press the "up" button to scroll through the photos. To delete only the currently displayed photo, first press the "down" button, then use the "up" button to select the checkmark icon (or the "X" icon to cancel and not delete if you press "down" by accident), then press the "down" button to delete the photo. To delete all of your photos while reviewing them, press MODE, then the "up" button to select the checkmark icon, then the "down" button to delete all files in internal memory (or the SD card if one is in the card slot).
From the live preview display, or any other screen, pressing the "right" button on the 4-way keypad will turn off the display, useful for saving battery life without turning off the entire camera. Press the right button again to return to the previous display. Pressing the right button on the keypad twice is also a simple way to exit any screen, rather than wait for it to time out.
