storing and initializing the manual mode
settings
you can set whether or not your digital disk camera stores the macro focus (see page 72), digital zoom (see page 75), exposure correction (see page 87), and manual mode (see page 88) settings after the digital disk camera is turned off. your digital disk camera is initially set to store these settings. to have your digital disk camera return to its initial settings each time it is turned off, make the proper settings by following the procedure below.
4 press the set button.
?this completes the setting of whether or not to store manual mode and other settings.
?to return to the option screen, press the mode button.
setting the exposure metering
your digital disk camera is capable of two types of exposure metering: by dividing up the screen and calculating the total amount of light by adding up each division (matrix metering) or by measuring the amount of light in the central portion of the screen only (center-weighted metering). your digital disk camera is initially set to use matrix metering for determining the proper exposure settings. to have your digital disk camera use center-weighted metering, make the proper settings by following the procedure below.
setting the iso sensitivity
the initial settings for your digital disk camera have the digital disk camera set the iso sensitivity automatically according to the brightness of the subject. however, you can fix the iso sensitivity to iso 100, 200, or 400 equivalency.
dealing with the folder settings
the initial settings for your digital disk camera have all files (i.e. images, video clips, and audio recordings) stored in the folder number 100 (see page 148). when the number of files increases and exceeds a certain amount, a new folder is automatically created (folder number 101 and so on) and the new files are stored in this folder (see page 168).
your digital disk camera also allows you to create new folders. by creating new folders, you can separate images and files into different folders for classification and also move files from one folder to another. by creating folders, your files can be neatly organized when they become too many to commit to memory.
4 select ?yes?and press the set button.
?the new folder will be assigned a number sequentially starting with 101 (i.e. 100 ?101 ?102 ... 999). the number assigned to a folder cannot be set manually.
?after the new folder is created, you return to the camera setting screen and subsequent files recorded by your digital disk camera will be stored in the new folder.
about the folder to which files are saved and the folder from which files are played ?your digital disk camera allows you to create multiple folders so that you can organize your files into the different folders. the setting of which folder to save files to and which folder to play files from is done separately so be careful not to confuse the two.
setting the save folder: go to folder setting screen (see page 117).
setting the playback folder: there are two methods (the folder for saving will not change even if the folder for playing back files is changed).
?select the desired folder at the folder information screen (see page 118) and press the set button.
?change folders at the skip file screen (see pages 55, 60, 65).
?if you turn off the digital disk camera while it is in a playback mode and then turn it back on, a file from the previously selected playback folder will be displayed. if you perform any shooting, those files will be saved to the save folder selected at the folder setting screen. at this time, if you return to the playback mode, files from the folder to which you just saved files will be displayed.
example:
1 select the folder to save files (the save folder) at the folder setting screen (see page 117).
(example: set folder number 103)
?if shooting is performed, those files will be saved to folder number 103.
2 change to playback mode without turning off the digital disk camera.
?files in folder number 103 are played back.
3 change the playback folder at the folder information screen (see page 118).
(example: set folder number 101)
4 perform shooting.
?the files are saved to folder number 103.
5 change to playback mode.
?files in folder number 103 are played back.
changing the playback folder is performed at the skip file screen (see pages 55, 60, 65) or folder information screen (see page 118). the save folder can only be changed at the folder setting screen shown above.
viewing the folder information
follow the procedure below to view the number and types of files stored in folders and the date folders were created.
the playback folder can also be changed at the skip file screen (see pages 55, 60, 65). the save folder is changed at the folder setting screen (see page 117).
up to 900 folders (folder numbers 100 to 999) can be created on one disk.
temporary video clip interval shooting data (see page 106) and temporary animation shooting data (see page 111) are not video clips and will not show up as video clip files. be aware of this when erasing all the data in a folder or formatting a disk.
setting the shutter sound
your digital disk camera allows you to set whether or not a shutter sound will be heard when the shutter release button is pressed. moreover, in addition to the camera sound that is the initial setting for the shutter sound, it also allows you to change the shutter sound to other sounds that you have recorded.
setting whether or not to play the shutter sound
follow the procedure below to set whether or not a shutter sound will be heard when you press the shutter release button.
changing the shutter sound
follow the procedure below to record a new shutter sound using the microphone of the digital disk camera and set that recording as the shutter sound.
4 press the set button.
?the shutter sound recording ready screen appears.
5 press the shutter release button.
?recording begins.
?up to a maximum of five seconds can be recorded.
?to stop the recording before five seconds elapses, press the shutter release button.
?when recording is completed, omplete?appears and you return to the shutter sound screen.
?at this time, you can press the shutter release button to hear the newly recorded shutter sound.
?the recorded sound file is stored on the disk in the digital disk camera (see page 148).
?to return to the option screen, press the mode button.
if a long shutter sound is set, the time from when the shutter release button is pressed until when the image is captured will become longer.
in addition to recordings made using the microphone, you can also use the software included in the sanyo software pack to set sound files saved in your computer.
any silent portions at the beginning or end of the sound file will be cut and not used as the shutter sound (provided there is no background noise). in the example below, only the portion with sound is used as the shutter sound so the sound will be heard the moment the shutter release button is pressed.
selecting the shutter sound
follow the procedure below to set a recording made using the microphone or one saved in your computer as the shutter sound. (read the instruction manual included with the sanyo software pack.)
to return the shutter sound to its initial setting, select “default” at the shutter sound screen and press the set button.
setting the remote control operation
follow the procedure below to set whether or not you will use the remote control.
