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 for about two seconds whenever you turn on the camera.

1.In a recording mode or the Play Mode, 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.

You can specify a snapshot image or a movie image that is two seconds (200KB) or less in length.

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

To do this:

Select this setting:

 

 

Use the currently displayed image as

On

the startup screen image

 

 

 

Disable the startup screen

Off

 

 

IMPORTANT!

The snapshot image or movie that you select as the startup image is stored in a special memory location called “startup image memory.” Only one image can be stored in startup image memory at one time. Se- lecting 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 storage memory. Note that you cannot delete an image from startup image memory. You can only replace it with another image.

Using the Alarm

You can configure up to three alarms that cause the camera to beep and display a specified image at the time you specify.

To set an alarm

1.In the Play Mode, press MENU.

2.Select the “PLAY” tab, select “Alarm,” and then press [].
