M500 System Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the system options using on-screen-display (OSD)
menus. Operating the M500 camera does not require modifying any of the factory configuration
settings. However, the OSD menus allow setting the following:
• Choose configuration options that match personal preferences such as Joystick Mode or
default color scheme. Save the default configuration that will be active after a power cycle.
• Enable or disable specialized modes such as Tracker, InstAlert, IceAlert, NMEA messaging, or
operating the camera in Surveillance mode.
After making updates, most changes persist. However, a few settings revert to the factory default
when the system is rebooted. Refer to “Save current settings as start-up defaults:” on page 25.
Not all options can be used at the same time. The way the various options interact is also
described in the following sections.

Note: During navigation in the OSD menu, camera zoom is
