Auto Rotate: This option determines whether vertically oriented pictures are rotated to appear upright during picture playback or when you view them in a photo editor. Stick with the default “On” setting, represented by the icon shown in Figure 1-34, until you explore Chapter 9, which discusses this and other playback issues. This setting doesn’t affect movies. See the next bullet point for a similar item that does come into play for movie recording.
Add Movie Rotate Info: If you set the camera to Movie mode (rotate the On/Off switch to the movie-camera position), the menu displays this option. When enabled, this feature inserts into the movie data information about whether you held the camera vertically or horizontally when shooting the movie. Movies that you shot in the vertical orientation then play back in the same orientation as recorded when you display them on a smartphone or other smart device. You can read more about this movie-recording feature in Chapter 8.
Format Card: Choose this option to wipe the installed memory card clean of all contents and ensure that it’s properly prepared for use in the camera. For extra-deep cleaning, select the Low-Level formatting box after you select the menu option. However, the standard formatting (Low-Level box unchecked) is usually adequate.
Setup Menu 2
Setup Menu 2, posing in Figure 1-35, contains these options:
FIGURE 1-35: Through the first option on this menu, you can adjust the delay time of the camera’s automatic shutdown feature.
Auto Power Off: To save battery power, the camera automatically goes to sleep after a certain period of inactivity. At the default setting, the camera nods off after only 10 seconds unless the camera is in Playback mode, Live View mode, or Movie mode, in which case it waits until 30 seconds have passed.You can adjust this timing so that 30 seconds is the minimum delay time (the 10-second variation is disabled at the 30-second setting). Or you can extend the delay up to as long as 15 minutes. To disable auto shutdown altogether, select Off — but be aware that even at that setting, the monitor still turns off if you ignore the camera for 30 minutes.Regardless of the shutoff time you select, you can bring the camera out of hibernation mode by giving the shutter button a quick half-press and release or by pressing the DISP button.
Disp. Brightness: This option enables you to make the monitor display brighter or darker. But if you take this step, what you see on the display may not be an accurate rendition of exposure. The default setting is 4, which is the position at the midpoint of the brightness scale.
Screen Off/On Btn: Through this option, available only for viewfinder photography, you tell the camera what to do with regards to the Quick Control display when you press the shutter button halfway. At the default setting, Shutter Btn, your half-press of the button then turns the monitor off, and releasing the button turns the monitor back on.Option 2, Shutter/DISP, still results in the monitor shutting itself off when you half-press the shutter button, but to bring the monitor back to life, you have to press the DISP button. And Option 3, Remains On, lives up to its name: The screen stays on even after you press the shutter button halfway. If you want to shut the monitor off, you have to press the INFO button.I suggest keeping this one set to the default (Shutter Btn.). Whatever you choose, remember that the setting has no effect during Live View or movie shooting. In fact, if the camera is in Movie mode or Live View is turned on, the option disappears from the menu.
Date/Time/Zone: If you didn’t do so when following the initial camera setup steps at the start of this chapter, enter the time, date, and time zone now. Keeping the date/time accurate is important because that information is recorded as part of the image file. In your photo browser, you can then see when you shot an image and, equally handy, search for images by the date they were taken. Chapter 9 shows you where to locate the date/time data when browsing your picture files. When the Time Zone setting is active, the Time Difference value that’s displayed in the upper-right corner of the display is the difference between the Time Zone you select and Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC, which is the standard by which the world sets its clocks. For example, New York City is 5 hours behind UTC. This information is provided so that if your time zone isn’t in the list of available options, you can select one that shares the same relationship to the UTC.
Language: This option determines the language of any text displayed on the camera monitor.
Setup Menu 3
Setup Menu 3, shown in Figure 1-36, contains the following offerings:
FIGURE 1-36: Still more customization features await on Setup Menu 3.
Video System: This option relates to viewing your images and movies on a television. Select NTSC if you live in North America or other countries that adhere to the NTSC video standard; select PAL for playback in areas that follow that code of video conduct. Your selection also determines what frame rate settings you can select when recording movies (refer to Chapter 8).
Touch Control: Choose this setting to adjust the sensitivity of the touchscreen or disable the touchscreen altogether. (I often do this when wearing my camera on a neck strap so that I can’t accidentally adjust a touchscreen-enabled setting if the monitor bumps against my chest as I walk.)Remember that you can also use the Multi Function Lock feature to toggle the touchscreen operation on and off by pressing the Erase/Lock button. See the earlier section “Back-of-the-body controls” — specifically, the details about the Erase/Lock button — for information.
Beep: Choose Enable if you want the camera to emit an audio cue when you select an option by tapping the touchscreen and when the autofocusing system has found its focus point. The second option, Touch, disables touchscreen sounds only; choose Disable to turn off both sound effects.
Battery Info.: Select this option to see battery information, such as the type of battery in the camera, how much battery juice is left, and the battery’s recharge performance. For this last feature, three green bars mean that the battery is working fine; two bars means that recharging is slightly below par; and one red bar means that you should invest in a new battery as soon as possible.
