MENUS
The menu system on the E-3 stands at the heart of this versatile
photographic machine.
Every adjustment option available on the camera – even where
dedicated buttons are provided for the particular feature – is
available through the menu system.
While the menu structure might, at first glance, seem involved
and confusing, it is a simply set-out arrangement which is
actually easy to understand.
In essence the menu operates as follows:
• There are only 5 main menus
• Of these two are camera control setting menus that
control adjustments needed for taking photographs
• There is one playback menu for use when viewing
images
• There are two tools menus that permit adjustment or
control of the way the camera functions
The menus are easily identified as the two menus that affect your
photography directly are marked with camera icons and the
numbers 1 and 2.
The playback menu is marked with the playback symbol.
The tools menus are marked with a spanner symbol and a 1 or 2.
A press of the MENU button will call up the main 5 division menu
screen with the first camera menu highlighted in yellow. Pressing
the DOWN arrow pad key will move the highlight block down to
the second camera menu, then the playback menu and thereafter
to the two tools menu options.
