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.

EVF AND LCD MONITOR BRIGHTNESS

The brightness of the EVF and LCD monitor is set independently of each other. Brightness is controlled in five levels from 1 (low) to 5 (high). As each setting is high- lighted, the monitor will adjust accordingly; the controller must be pressed to set the highlighted level. When the LCD brightness or EVF brightness setting is selected, the corresponding monitor will activate automatically.

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

AUTO POWER SAVE

The camera will turn off the EVF and data panel to conserve battery power if no opera- tion 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 seconds. 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.

BEEP

The audio signal can be turned off or on. The tone of the signal can be changed to high or low.

LANGUAGE

The language used in the menus can be changed.
