more accurately, or to add effects to your pictures or
videos, select Options > Image setup or Video setup, and

lighting conditions. See ‘The flash’, p. 23.

the image.

make, so that you see how the change affects the pictures
or videos.
The available settings vary depending on the selected
camera.
The setup settings are camera specific; if you change the
settings in the secondary camera, the settings in the main
camera do not change. The setup settings do, however,
transfer between the image and video modes.
The setup settings return to the default settings when you
close the camera. If you select a new shooting mode, the
settings are replaced by the settings of the selected
shooting mode. See ‘Shooting modes’, p. 25. If you must
change the setup settings, you can change them after
selecting a shooting mode.
