The Controls Menu
In M-REC mode, the controls menu offers control over the
following settings:
•
SAVE (Flash Mode Save): When this item is checked, the
camera saves the flash setting. This flash setting is restored
when the mode dial is turned to M-REC. When this item is
not checked, the flash is set to “Auto” when the camera is
turned on.
• SAVE (Focus Mode Save): As above, but the camera
saves the focus mode setting. When this item is not checked,
focus is set to “Autofocus” when the camera is turned on.
• SAVE (Exposure Compensation Save): When this item is
checked, the camera saves the exposure compensation
setting. This setting is restored when the mode dial is turned
to M-REC. When this item is not checked, exposure
compensation is set to “0” when the camera is turned on.
• MENU DIR.: Reverses the roles of the zoom buttons for the
purposes of scrolling through the menus. When this item is
checked, the zoom out (▼) button is used to move the
highlight bar up and the zoom in (▲) button to move it down.
• DIST. FT: When this item is checked, the focus distance for
manual focus is displayed in feet. If this item is not checked,
