Menu system overview
The main menu contains those settings that you will need to access most
often as you work on an assignment. It also provides sub-menus that give
you access to all other settings, most of which you will need less often.
The ISO Setting
You are able to set the light sensitivity of the camera to match an
equivalent ISO rating for standard film. e light meter inside the
camera body will use this setting when making automatic exposure
calculations for aperture and/or shutter settings.
e ISO rating can be set to 50, 100, 200 or 400.
To set the ISO:
1. Select the MAIN MENU > ISO entry. This is the top entry of
the top menu, so it will be selected by default when you enter
the menu system. (See also Navigating the Menu System for
details about how to find this setting.)
2. Use the (+) and (-) buttons to step through the available ISO
settings until the setting you want is shown.
3. Either move on to another setting by using the navigator but-
ton or press the menu button to exit the menu system and
keep your setting.
Note that the default sensitivity of the CCD sensor is ISO 50. Higher
ISO settings result in progressively noisier images (just as higher ISO
film become grainer), so we recommend that you use the lowest
ISO setting possible for your lighting situation.
The White Bal Setting
Use this entry to set the white balance saved with the image and ap-
plied to the preview. See MAIN MENU > White Bal for details.
Selecting the current storage medium
e storage setting controls where your sensor unit will store
new images and which stored images will be visible in the browse
window.
Oen, you have just one type of storage media available—the
internal compact-flash card. However, if you have several media
attached (e.g., a card and one or more external disks), then you
may need to switch between them.
If your selected storage medium has more than one batch (folder)
on it, then the batch selected when you use the storage menu entry
will be the one you most recently created.
Note that you can also select media using just the (+) and (-) buttons
while browsing images. This method also enables you to select a
batch as you zoom in from media to batch to thumbnails to preview.
See Navigating Media and Batches for complete details about
this method.
