Configuring camera settings

The following procedures show how to change camera settings from the Camera menu. They can be
changed in any order.
In the main menu, go to the Camera menu icon and press Enter or left-click the mouse. The Camera
menu appears.
All changes made to the Camera menu apply to the selected camera. The camera settings of one
camera can easily be copied to another camera.
To save changes made in the menu
1. When you have made all the changes required in the Camera menu, go to OK and press Enter or
left-click the mouse to save all the changes. To abort the changes, select Cancel and press Enter.
You will then return to the main menu.
Note: Selecting OK in submenus confirms but does not save the changes made. Changes are only saved
when OK is selected in the Camera menu.

Each camera can be given a title, which must be unique. If you do not give a camera a title, it is
automatically pre-numbered.
