Menu charts – general

Throughout this manual you will find charts to explain the steps and procedures required to alter the various settings. These charts are laid out to graphically illustrate in a simple manner how to navigate through the menus. While they include all the information that would be presented on the display relevant to that section, they cannot illustrate all the possible combinations of the various symbols seen on a screen at one time as that would be impractical and too

confusing­ . If you are familiar with mobile/cell phone menus, for example, then the design of the layout and working practice will not be unfamiliar.

You should find that, in practice, working your way through a menu on the camera is a good deal simpler and more

obvious­ than the written explanation implies!

In the descriptions, various terms are used regarding menu navigation. Menus have ‘trees’, for example, which describes their imaginary graphical layout where you could trace a navigational path along its ‘branches’. Each new section, or stopping off point on the branches, seen on the display is called a ‘screen’. Therefore a screen is the graphical display of where you are on the menu and represents the current state of settings.

The H4D features the advantage of multiple customization of settings. This means that your personal choice of ­settings, and thereby appearance of various combinations of symbols­ on the display at any time, will not necessarily be the same as many of the screens illustrated in this manual.

To simplify the descriptions, reference is often made to a ‘main’ or standard screen. Apart from default settings, there is no actual standard setting in the normal sense and there- fore you create your own ‘standard’, which of course can be changed at any time.

The ‘main’ screen is therefore the one you have currently

created­ and is the one visible on the display when photo­ graphing (except where a particular mode is in actual ­operation, such as self-timer, for example).

Functions in loop on menu

A loop means that the available functions on that particular branch of the menu can be ­successively accessed in either direction of the control wheels without a break in flow. That is, you could turn the wheel clockwise or anti-clockwise to arrive at the desired func- tion.

Main direction of path through menu

The main path traces step-by-step the path that has to be taken through the various branches of the menu tree as they appear on the display to reach the relevant functions.
