NOTES

The SD card includes a text file that lists the camera settings. You can check the settings by using a USB card reader to access the SD card on a computer. In the “PRIVATE\CAMSET” folder, open the file “CAMSET5.TXT”.

When loading camera settings from an SD card, even protected custom picture files in the camera will be replaced.

For your protection, when the camera’s settings are saved on an SD card, the following settings under

[wOther Functions] >[Wi-Fi Remote] are not saved: the encryption key/WEP index key in the wireless LAN setup of each of the configuration files [No. 1] to [No. 5] and the password in the camera settings.

Only camera settings from other C500 / C500 PL cameras can be used with this camera.
