VIDEO OUTPUT

Camera images can be displayed on a television (p. 39). The video output can be changed between NTSC and PAL. North America uses the NTSC standard and Europe uses the PAL standard. Check which standard is used in your region to play back images on your television set.

AUTO POWER SAVE

The camera will turn off the EVF and data panel to conserve battery power if no operation is made within a certain period. The length of this period can be changed to 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes. The auto- power-save option will not affect the display period of LCD monitor; it will shut down after 30 sec- onds. To restore the displays when they shut down, simply press the shutter-release button or the display-information button. When the camera is connected to the computer, the auto-power-save peri- od is set to ten minutes. This period cannot be changed.

MEMORY RECALL

The control used to recall saved camera settings stored in memory (p. 50) can be changed. Two set- tings are available:

1

Function Dial – saved settings are recalled using the function dial only, see page 50 for description.

DSP button – settings can be recalled using the digital-subject-program button (1). Each time the button is pressed, the memory registers are cycled in order. The digital-subject-program indicator shows the select- ed register. The memory registers can still be selected with the function dial, but the digital subject programs cannot be used. The function dial must be used to store a new set of camera settings (p. 50).
