MAIN MENU > SETTINGS > User Interface
By altering the User Interface settings, you can control the way the digital back interacts
to suit you and your preferred way of working. It also includes date and time settings.
USER INTERFACE menu items
The user interface menu includes both items and sub-menus. The following items avail-
able here are:
• Language:
The menu system can be displayed in any of seven languages. This menu item
enables you to select your preferred language for the menus.
• Power Down:
To help preserve the charge of the battery, you can set the back to power down
after a specified period of inactivity. The effect is exactly the same as though
you had pressed the off button on the camera. Once it has powered down, you
must turn the H3D on before you can continue working. Set this to Never to
disable this feature (this is the default setting). Set to a value between 3 and 99
minutes to establish a time-out. (Note the difference between Display 'timeout'
and Power Down.)
• Mark Overexp.:
This feature helps draw your attention to areas of your images that are over-
exposed. When this feature is enabled, the single-image preview display will
highlight each overexposed pixel by flashing it white and black.
Set this item to On to enable the feature; set to Off to disable it.
• Sound:
The H3D uses audio feedback to help let you know if each new image is exposed
correctly. This is described in Standard Instant Approval Workflow.
This menu item has Volume (choose between High, Low and Off), Key Click
(choose between On and Off) and Exposure Warning (choose between On
and Off).
• Date & Time:
The H3D has an internal clock that keeps track of the date and time. This
information is used to mark each shot with the date and time at which it was
taken. It is also used to label batches with the date on which each batch was
created. (See note under 'General overview of sensor unit' about keeping the
internal battery charged to maintain Date & Time settings).
• Display:
This feature sets the Timeout (2-30 seconds) on the display, which behaves
very much like a screen saver on a computer.When the timeout is reached, the
display will be turned off, but the back will still be running, so it will imme-
diately respond to a press of the buttons. (Note the difference between Display
'timeout' and Power Down.)
This feature also sets the level of Contrast (on a scale of 1-10) on the display.
Usually, you should leave this set to the default level of 5; however in some
viewing environments and/or with some types of images you may wish to
increase or decrease this value. A value of 10 provides maximum contrast; a
value of 0 provides no contrast (a black screen). You can also help save battery
power by using a low value here.
This feature also sets the Brightness (on a scale of 1-10) on the display. This
sets the brightness shown on the screen. Usually, you should leave this set to
the default level of 5, however in some viewing environments and/or with some
types of images you may wish to increase or decrease this value. A value of 10
provides maximum brightness; a value of 0 provides minimal brightness. You
can also help save battery power by using a low value here.
