SETTING THE DATE FORMAT

The date format that is displayed or imprinted can be changed: YYYY/MM/DD (year, month, day), MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, year), DD/MM/YYYY (day, month, year). Simply select the format and enter it by pressing the central button of the controller; the new format will be displayed on the menu. This has no affect on the date folder name (p. 128).

VIDEO OUTPUT

Camera images can be displayed on a television (p. 122). 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 period is set to ten minutes. This period cannot be changed.
