Changing settings

The menus are manipulated the same in
PLAY or REC modes by using the
buttons on top of the camera.
• To enter or exit the menu system,
press the MENU button.
• To scroll through menu choices, use
the up (+/ ) or down (–/ ) button to
highlight choices.
• To select a highlighted menu item,
use the ENTER/MACRO button.
Before you can use the Playback menus,
you have to record some pictures first.
So, for now, let's concentrate on the
Main Menu in REC mode.

REC mode

Setting capture mode

When you push the MENU button in
REC mode, your first option is
CAPTURE.
Your digital camera can capture one
picture at a time, or it can capture up to
nine consecutive images in a short
duration (SEQ.9).
Make sure the highlight arrow is by
CAPTURE in the Main Menu. If not,
use the up (+/ ) or down (–/ ) button to
select it. Once your menu choice is
displayed, press the ENTER/MACRO
button.
The arrow icon now highlights the right
hand column of CAPTURE. Using the
up (+/ ) or down (–/ ) button, chose
between SINGLE picture capture or
SEQ.9 modes.

Setting the pre-flash mode

Pre flash is an option used to reduce the
occurrence of red-eye in pictures. When
pre-flash is activated, there are a series
of two flashes; an initial flash to offset
red eye, and a second flash used for the
picture.
Note: In order for Pre Flash to work, the camera must be
set to AUTO flash or FLASH ON mode.
