Add cropping information
If you set cropping information, vertical  lines for the aspect ratio you have 
set will appear on the Live View imag e. You can then compose the shot as 
if you were shooting with a medium- or  large-format camera (6x6 cm, 4x5 
inch, etc.).
When you take a picture, the aspec t ratio information for cropping the 
image with the provided software  will be appended to the image. (The 
image is recorded to the card without being cropped.)
After the image is transferred to a per sonal computer, you can use Digital 
Photo Professional (provided software, p. 410) to easily crop the image to 
the aspect ratio that was set.
OFF: Off (aspect ratio 3:2) 6:7: Aspect ratio 6:7
6:6: Aspect ratio 6:6 5:6: Aspect ratio 10:12
3:4: Aspect ratio 3:4 5:7: Aspect ratio 5:7
4:5: Aspect ratio 4:5
Timer duration
You can change how long a function  setting associated with a button 
remains in effect after you let go of  that button. You can set the timer 
duration within 0 sec. to 59 sec. or within 1 min. to 60 min.
6-sec. timer
This is how long the mete ring and AE lock are maintained.
16-sec. timer
This is how long the  FE lock and multi-spot  metering are maintained.
Timer after release This is how long the metering is  maintained after shutter release. 
Normally, the timer length is 2 sec.  after the shutter release. A longer 
timer length will make it easier  to keep using AE lock for the same 
exposure.
  The cropping information is recorded during Live View shooting, 
viewfinder shooting, and still phot o shooting during movie shooting. 
Cropping information cannot  be recorded to movies.
  A 1  image with cropping informatio n appended cannot be cropped 
with the camera’s RAW image processing.
