SETUP MODE

SETUP MENU – BASIC

The basic section of the setup menu allows changes to be made to the operation of the camera as well as the ability to format CompactFlash cards.

LCD MONITOR BRIGHTNESS

The brightness of the LCD monitor can be set in five levels from 1 (low) to 5 (high). As each setting is highlighted, the monitor will adjust accordingly; the controller must be pressed to set the highlighted level.

FORMATTING COMPACTFLASH CARDS

When a CompactFlash card is formatted, all data on the card is erased.

The formatting function is used to erase all data on a CompactFlash card. Before formatting a CompactFlash card, copy the data to a computer or storage device. Locking images will not protect them from being deleted when the card is formatted. Always format the CompactFlash card using the camera; never use a computer to format a card.

When the format option is selected and entered, a confirmation screen will appear. Choosing “Yes” will format the card, choosing “No” will cancel the formatting operation. A screen will appear to indicate the card has been formatted; press “OK” to return to the setup menu.

If the card-not-recognized message appears, the card inserted in the camera may need to be format- ted. A CompactFlash card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used. If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the card is not compatible with the camera and cannot be formatted.
