Specifying an Image for the Startup Screen

You can specify an image you recorded as the startup screen image, which causes it to appear on the monitor screen whenever you press the power button or [] (REC) to turn on the camera. The startup screen image does not appear if you press [] (PLAY) to turn on the camera.

1.Press [MENU].

2.Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Startup”, and then press [￿].

3.Use [￿] and [￿] to display the image you want to use as the startup image.

4.Use [￿] and [￿] to change the setting, and then press [SET].

To do this:

Select this setting:

 

 

Use the currently displayed image

On

as the startup screen image

 

 

 

Disable the startup screen

Off

 

 

IMPORTANT!

•You can select any one of the following types of image as the startup image.

—The camera’s built-in image

—A snapshot

—The image only of an audio snapshot

—A movie whose file size is less than the amount of unused built-in memory still available

•Only one image can be stored in startup image memory at one time. Selecting a new startup image overwrites anything that is already stored in startup image memory. Because of this, if you want to return to a previous startup image, you need to have a separate copy of that image in the camera’s standard image memory.

•The startup image is deleted if you format built-in memory (page 175).

•If you store an audio snapshot to startup image memory, the image’s audio is not played when the image is displayed at startup.
