NAVIGATING THE MENUS WITH THE KEYPAD AND SELECT BUTTONS
While viewing normally with the Equinox Z2, pressing the Select Button (D) will activate the display icons ("HUD"), allowing
you to check battery level, recording mode, day/night and IR illuminator settings, etc. After about 5 seconds, the display will
return to the normal view, with no visible icons. Pressing the Select Button twice (or once if display icons are shown ) will enter
the Settings Menu. The menu will allow you to optimize the Equinox Z2 for the way you plan to use it, and to your personal
preferences by selecting an option (within a Sub Menu or category) and then changing its setting.
To select the menu option you want and change its setting:
1. Use the Down key (or Up) on the 4-way Keypad (E) to highlight the Sub Menu that has the option you want to change.
Both main and Sub Menus as well as the settings within "wrap around", meaning that continuing to press Down after the
last item will then move to the first item on the list. You can also press Up when the first item is highlighted to jump to the
last item ("Return" for example).
2. Press the Select Button (D) at the center of the Keypad to enter the Sub Menu and view its available options.
3. Use the Up/Down keys to highlight the desired option.
4. Press the Select button to view the available settings for that option (the highlighted setting is the default, or currently
selected setting.
5. Use the Up/Down keys to highlight the setting you want, then press Select to confirm the new setting.
6. You will then be returned to the Sub Menu. To exit the Sub Menu and return to the top level "Settings" menu (showing
all Sub Menus), use the Up/Down keys to highlight "Return" and press the Select button. Repeat steps 1-5 to enter
another Sub Menu and make changes to other settings if desired.
7. To exit the top level menu, use the Down key to scroll down all the way to "Exit Settings" (keep going down after "Wi-Fi
Setup" to see the 2nd screen) and press Select with Exit highlighted.
Shortcut: from any menu screen, pressing the Record Button (F) will exit all menus and return you to the normal view with
display icons.
As an example, and to practice using the menu system, let's try setting the Equinox Z2 up for video recording at 1080p:
1. With the unit powered up, while looking into the Eyepiece, press the Select button twice to enter the Settings menu.
2. Press the Down button once to highlight "Camera Settings", then press the Select button to enter that Sub Menu.
3. The first option, "Recording Mode" is already highlighted (and "Photo" is shown as the current setting), so press the
Select button once to view all available settings.
4. "Photo" is highlighted, as that is the current (default) setting. Press the Down button on the Keypad to highlight "Video".
5. With "Video" highlighted, press the Select button to change to that setting for the Recording Mode.
6. You are back in the Night Vision Sub Menu. Press the Down button twice to highlight "Video Resolution", then press
Select.
7. Highlight "1080p" (highest available resolution) using the Down button, then press Select to confirm the new setting.
8. From the Camera Settings Sub Menu, press the Record Button (F) to quickly exit the entire Settings Menu.
Setting Date and Time:
In the Camera Setup Sub Menu, you should set the current date and time, so these will be correct as seen in the HUD display,
as well as on the Timestamp for recorded videos (if you choose to enable it). The steps to set the date and time are as follows:
1. Press the Select Button (D) once or twice to enter the Settings Menu. Press the Down button until "Camera Setup" is
highlighted, then press the Select button to enter the Camera Setup Sub Menu.
2. Press the Down button to highlight "Setup Date", then press Select.
3. The month field will be blinking. Use the Up/Down buttons to set it to the current month if necessary, then press Select
to confirm the change.
4. Press the Right button to move to the day field. Press the Select button to edit the day (field will blink). Use the Up/Down
buttons to set the current date, then press Select to confirm.
5. Follow the same procedure to select, edit and change the year field if necessary. When finished setting the current
month/date/year, press the Down button to highlight "Confirm" and press the Select button.
6. Back in the Camera Setup Sub Menu, select "Setup Time" and use the Keypad and Select buttons (same process as used
to set the date) to set the current time (including AM/PM if Time Format is set to the default 12 hr format). When finished
setting the current time, press the Down button to highlight "Set" and press the Select button.
7. The next item in the Camera Setup Sub Menu gives you the option to display the time in 12 hrs or 24 hrs (military time)
format.
The next page shows all options and their settings for each item in the Settings Menu, within its various Sub Menus.
