6. Press the MENU/EXIT button again to close the menu.
Note also that the menu and approval buttons are situated just
outside the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of the screen.
As you work through the various menu items, the screen shows a
label for each of these buttons. In the text, we therefore give the
generic name for the button and the screen name. For example we
will refer to: the menu (MENU) button, the menu (EXIT) button, or
the approval (OK) button.

Settings check

ISO, White Balance, Media and Browse settings should be checked
before each session. They are therefore placed at the top level of
the menu for quick and easy access. They are also shown on-screen
in most preview modes, so you can easily keep an eye on them as
your work.

ISO

The digital capture unit can be set to use a light-sensitivity rating
equivalent to ISO 50, 100, 200 or 400 film. Note, however, that the
"natural" sensitivity of the CCD is ISO 50, so you will get best results
with this setting if the light conditions allow.
To set the ISO:
1. Select the MENU > ISO item. This is the top item of the top
menu, so it will be selected by default when you enter the
menu system. (See also Navigating the Menu System for
details about how to find this setting.)
2. Use the or button to step through the available ISO
settings until the setting you want is shown.
3. Either move on to another setting by using the navigator but-
ton or press the menu button to exit the menu system and
keep your setting.

Note that the default sensitivity of the CCD sensor is ISO 50. Higher
ISO settings result in progressively noisier images (just as higher
ISO film becomes grainer). It is recommended that you use the
lowest ISO setting the lighting situation allows.
