Memory - Storing Camera Settings

Five sets of camera settings can be saved. This saves time under frequently repeating conditions by eliminating the need to set the camera. Except for functions like subject programs, data imprinting, voice memo, and instant playback, most recording-mode camera settings will be saved including the position of the Flex Focus Point, the display mode, and changes made with the function dial and digital effects control. Settings are displayed before being saved. Although the Digital Effects bracketing drive mode setting can be saved, the type of bracket, contrast, color saturation, or filter, must be reset with the Digital Effects Controller.

To save the current camera settings, turn the function dial to the M SET position and press the function button to open the register- selection screen; the current camera settings are displayed.

On the register-selection screen, use the control dials or left/right keys of the controller (1) to select the memory register in which to store the settings; any previous set- tings are replaced. Press the central button of the con- troller (2) to complete the operation. The menu button cancels the operation without saving the settings.
