To change other settings, press the g button to return 
to the previous screen, then repeat steps 5 to 7 as 
required.

When you have completed the settings, press the SET 
(YES) button.

The message “NOW SAVING...” appears on the 
monitor screen, and “Saving...” appears in the time 
counter display, while the new settings are saved in 
memory.
When the saving operation is completed, the monitor 
screen and time counter display return to their normal 
indications.

• If you power off the unit before saving operation is 

completed, settings may be lost. Wait until the 
saving is completed before powering off the unit.

• If, instead of pressing the SET (YES) button, you 

press the MENU button, the new settings are not 
saved. The message “ABORT !” appears on the 
monitor screen and “Abort !” in the time counter 
display for about 0.5 second, and the system exits 
the menus. To change more than one setting, be sure 
to press the SET (YES) button after making the 
settings.

The factory default setting is not to display enhanced 
items.

item (see page 74) to ENHANCED, following the 
procedure in the previous section “Changing the Settings 
of Basic Items.” (In step 3, first select “MENU GRADE,” 
and next select “ENHANCED,” then press the SET (YES) 
button to save the setting in memory.)
With this done, when you press the MENU button and the 
G button to display the setup menu, all basic and enhanced 
items on menu level 1 appear.

To change the settings of enhanced items, first carry out
