Face Recognition Quick Menu

Going through the extensive list of menu commands using the MENU/SET button to change your image’s settings can be cumbersome. The task is simplified and quickened by using the Quick Menu option. It simplifies command selection by listing only the most important commands and their values and enabling you to make setting changes. The Quick Menu is available in Intelligent Auto and the entire mode dials options except My Color.

There are three points to keep in mind when using Quick Menu. First, the Quick Menu option can be activated in two ways. You can press the Q.MENU button on the upper-right side on the back of camera or you can touch the Q.MENU icon on the LCD screen. Both will display the Quick Menu data on the LCD screen.

To display the touch Q.MENU icon on the LCD screen, ensure the following command is set:

MENU/SET>CUSTOM> (pg 6) TOUCH Q.MENU>[ON]

Second, as covered in, how you navigate through the Quick Menu data will depend on how you entered Quick Menu, the value chosen for the LCD DISP.STYLE command, and your chosen data display screen format. If you used the Q.MENU button on the back of the camera, you can use either the directional arrow buttons or the touch screen. If you initiate the Quick Menu mode using the touch Q.MENU icon on the LCD screen, you must use the touch screen method to navigate through the Quick Menu data.

The LCD screen’s display style (MENU/SET>CUSTOM> (pg 4) LCD DISP. STYLE) dictates some of the navigation rules. The LCD Monitor style displays the Quick Menu options with the selected option’s available values in a drop-down list. The Viewfinder style displays only the Quick Menu options. To see the selected option’s values, you will need to push the MENU/SET button or push in the rear dial. To navigate through the available options, use the up and down directional arrow buttons or rotate the rear dial. As always, experiment with the different styles and determine what works best for you.

Regardless of which data display screen format you had selected for displaying your image’s command criteria, you will be presented with only two Quick Menu screen formats: (1) Quick Menu data along with the image’s settings displayed across the top of the display screen and (2) the LCD Info Display format.

The third point covers what Quick Menu displays. What you see on the LCD screen will be based on the selected mode dial option. If a command option is not available for editing for the selected mode, it will not be displayed on the Quick Menu.
