What is the purpose of the CONTROL SETTING function?
The CONTROL SETTING function determines which camera navigation options are available in each shooting mode. While the hierarchical menu is always available by pressing the [MENU] button, CONTROL SETTING presents convenient short-cut options to help you quickly access frequently used controls. The control view options are LIVE GUIDE, LIVE CONTROL and SCP (Super Control Panel). The LIVE GUIDE view, designed for novice photographers, lets you fine adjust photographic effects such as brightness, color saturation, color balance and background blur using convenient and intuitive slide bars. As you move a slider up or down with the arrow keys, you can preview the effect of the change on the LCD monitor before you snap the picture. A technical understanding of photography concepts and jargon is not necessary. The LIVE CONTROL view presents narrow banners along the right side of, and at the bottom of, the LCD monitor. The banner on the right is filled with icons that represent camera settings
