    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.

    Shutter release time lag
    Normally, the shutter release is controll ed for a stable release time lag. By 
    setting [ Shortened], this stabilization contro l can be omitted to make the 
    shutter-release time lag shorter.
     Standard
     Shortened
    The normal shutter-release time l ag is approx. 0.055 sec. when the 
    aperture is stopped down by no more than four stops (depending on the 
    lens). When set to Shortened, the s hutter-release time lag is approx. 
    0.036 sec. At the maximum aperture, the shutter-release time lag will be\
     
    approx. 0.036 sec. regar dless of the lens.
    Memo audio quality
    You can set the audio quality w hen you record a voice memo.
    48kHz: High quality (48 kHz) You can record the voice memo at  the same audio quality as a movie.
    8kHz: Low quality (8 kHz) The voice memo’s file si ze is smaller than with [High quality (48 kHz)].
    Default Erase option
    During image playback and image revi ew after image capture, when you 
    press the  button, the Erase menu appears (p.280). You can set which 
    option, [ Cancel] or [Erase ], is to be preselected on this screen.
    If [ Erase ] is set, you can just press < 0> to quickly erase the image.
    [Cancel] selected
    L [Erase] selected
    The Shortened shutter-relea se time lag will vary depending on the lens and 
    aperture setting.
    If you record another voice memo to an image which already has a voice 
    memo, the audio quality will be the same as the firs t voice memo regardless 
    of this setting.
    If [ Erase ] is set, be careful not to erase an image accidentally.
