The first layer of the CAMERA MENU screen is for choosing and setting the menus required in accordance with functions or purposes. The unit also allows the contents of menu settings to be stored in three files (SCENE FILE A, B, OFF). ¥ SCENE FILE A, B ........... By performing the FILE STORE operation on the FILE MANAGE screen, the contents of menu settings can be stored and retained in the unit. However, the SET UP menu contents are stored even if the FILE STORE operation is not performed. Use SCENE FILE A or B to store and retain the contents of menu settings that remain more or less fixed. ¥ SCENE FILE OFF ........... Whenever you want to change the menu settings, use this SCENE FILE. The menu setting contents are stored in the unit even if the FILE STORE operation is not performed. When shooting, select the file with the menu settings to be used from among the three SCENE FILE files on the CAMERA MENU screen. -- - - - CAMERA MENU Normal screen - SCENE F I L E : A VF D I SPLAY MENU ..
