Menu Position MENU  2  Mode Dial Guide

What it Does Enables / Disables some eye candy when you’re switching
modes using the Exposure Mode dial

Recommended Setting Off

This camera has an awful lot of
beginner-level help screens for
something that was supposed to be
targeted at advanced users.  This
one applies just to the mode exposure
dial – each time you move it to a new
function, a quick picture and 1-
sentence explanation appears, letting
you know what this mode is supposed
to do. (Figure 9-3). I keep it off Figure 9-3: The Mode Dial Guide
because I already know what they do. enables / disables these colorful
screens which let you know just
what this mode is supposed to do.

Obscure TIP: If the camera has gone to sleep and the mode dial is changed,
the Mode Guide (if enabled) is not invoked when the camera wakes back up.
