ing are saved with the file and are displayed in playback mode or with the DiMAGE Viewer software

DATE FORMAT

year). Simply select the format and enter it by pressing the center of the controller; the new format
will be displayed on the menu. The date format does not affect date folder names (p. 67). The date
format is set in the custom 2 section of the setup menu (p. 74).

VIDEO OUTPUT

Camera images can be displayed on a television (p. 73). 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.

TRANSFER MODE

The transfer-mode option switches the camera between a data storage device and a remote camera.
To transfer files from the camera to a computer using the USB cable, the data storage option must be
selected. The remote camera option allows the live video feed from the camera to be seen on a com-
puter. For more on connecting the camera to a computer and the remote camera function, refer to
the data-transfer section of the manual.
