SETUP MODE
SETUP MENU - BASIC
The basic section of the setup menu allows changes to be made to the operation of the
camera as well as the ability to format CompactFlash cards.
EVF AND LCD MONITOR BRIGHTNESS
The brightness settings of the EVF and LCD monitor is set independent of each other.
Brightness is controlled in five levels from 1 (low) to 5 (high). As each setting is high-
lighted, the monitor will adjust accordingly; the controller must be pressed to set the
highlighted level. When the LCD brightness or EVF brightness setting is selected, the
corresponding monitor will activate automatically.
FORMATTING COMPACTFLASH CARDS
When a CompactFlash card is formatted, all data on the card is erased.
The formatting function is used to erase all data on a CompactFlash card. Before for-
matting a CompactFlash card, copy the data to a computer or storage device. Locking
images will not protect them from being deleted when the card is formatted. Always for-
mat the CompactFlash card using the camera; never use a computer to format a card.
When the format option is selected and entered, a confirmation screen will appear.
Choosing “Yes” will format the card, choosing “No” will cancel the formatting operation.
A screen will appear to indicate the card has been formatted; press “OK” to return to
the setup menu.
If the card-not-recognised message appears, the inserted card in the camera may need
to be formatted. A CompactFlash card used in another camera may need to be format-
ted before being used. If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the card is not com-
patible with the camera and should not be formatted.
