Part I: Fast Track to Super Snaps
Setup Menu 2
Setup Menu 2, shown in Figure 1-20, offers an additional batch of customiza-
tion options:
Beware of one gotcha that applies both to the Continuous and
Auto Reset options: If you swap memory cards and the new card
already contains images, the camera may pick up numbering from
the last image on the new card, which throws a monkey wrench
into things. To avoid this problem, format the new card before put-
ting it into the camera.
•
Manual Reset: Select this setting if you want the camera to begin
a new numbering sequence, starting at 0001, for your next shot.
The camera then returns to whichever mode you previously used
(Continuous or Auto Reset).
✓
Select Folder: You need to worry about this option only if your memory
card contains more than one image-storage folder. Again, the camera
creates folders for you automatically, starting with folder 100Canon and
then creating a new folder when the existing one is full. But you can
create and name your own folders, too, by following the instructions
laid out in Chapter 11.
If your card does contain multiple folders, use the Select Folder option
before you begin shooting to tell the camera which folder to use to store
your photos.
✓
Screen Color: If you don't like the default color scheme of the Shooting
Settings display, which is the one used for the screens shown in this
book, you can choose from three other schemes via the Screen Color
option.
✓
Eye-Fi Settings: The T3/1100D works with Eye-Fi memory cards, which
are special cards that enable you to transmit images from the camera to
the computer over a wireless network. It's a cool option, but the cards
themselves are more expensive than regular cards and require some
configuring. At this point, all you need to know is that if you don't have
an Eye-Fi card in the camera, the menu option is hidden, as in Figure
1-20. For more information on using an Eye-Fi card, turn to Chapter 11 or
visit www.eye.fi.
✓
LCD Brightness: This option enables you to make the camera monitor
brighter or darker. After highlighting the option on the menu, as shown
in Figure 1-20, press the Set button to display a screen similar to what
you see in Figure 1-21. The camera displays a picture from your memory
card; if the card is empty, you see a black box instead. Press the right
and left cross keys to adjust the brightness setting. Press Set to finish
the job and return to the menu.
