Using Soft Key Menus
Commonly used settings are accessed via Soft Key menus. These menus differ
from the Main menu because they do not take up the entire screen. Instead,
they are superimposed over the lower portion of the screen, allowing any live
video to remain visible. Also, unlike the Main menu, the Soft Key menus may be
accessed during playback or while recording.
To access any Soft Key menu:
X Press and hold the button for 1 second. The button’s menu, if available, will
appear.
