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 LCD 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 at all familiar with 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 navi- gation. Menus have ‘trees’, for example, which describes their im- aginary 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 LCD is called a ‘screen’. Therefore a screen is the graphical display on the LCD of where you are on the menu and represents the current state of settings.

The H2 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 LCD 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 ac- tual standard setting in the normal sense and therefore you cre- ate 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 LCD when photographing (except where a particular mode is in actual operation, such as self-timer, for example).
