• LCD Brightness: -5 to +5, step 1

Adjust the LCD monitor brightness to suit the environment's light condition. It is not easy to see the image on LCD monitor, if you use it outdoors in bright sunlight. For indoors, you can use the default value (0).

•Quick View: ON or OFF

If it is set to On and the LCD monitor is set to Off, it will display the last image for 3seconds (the image is converted to a JPEG file but is not saved to the memory). If you do not like the image, just press the ENTER button to delete it before the LCD monitor is turned off.

•White Balance: Auto, Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent1, Fluroescent2 The digital camera is a device different from the human eyes that can see a white subject regardless of the lighting condition of the environment. So the firmware is designed to automatically update the color processing in order to reproduce a true color image.

However, this may fail in some cases. You can change from Auto White Balance to Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent1 (Daylight fluorescent lamps) or Fluroescent2 (warm white fluorescent lamps).

Note: Once use this function, the flash is set to OFF automatically.

•EV Compensate: -1.5 to +1.5 EV, step 0.3 EV

If the background is too bright (e.g. Sunny day, snow mountain), the exposure will be too low for the main subject. You need to increase the exposure by increasing the EV (from+0.3 to +1.5). If the background is too dark (e.g. black wall), you need to decrease the EV (from -0.3 to - 1.5)

Note : +1 EV = the exposure is double. –1EV = the exposure is half

•Light Frequency: 50Hz or 60Hz

If you use the camera as a PC camera, you need to select the light frequency equal to your country's AC mains frequency. E.g. USA is 60Hz. Europe is 50Hz.
