                                 “Off”.   (Section 9.8)
            Delete Confirm.      This can save you one step when deleting an image
                                 from  the  memory  card.    I  prefer  “’Delete’  first”.
                                 (Section 9.9)
            Power Save Start Time   How long before the camera shuts itself off?  My
                                 preference is 1 minute unless I’m shooting pictures
                                 for this book. .  (Section 9.10)

           Toolbox menu     3

            Function              Setting
            Cleaning Mode         Vigorously  shakes  the  sensor  in  order  to  loosen
                                  (and  hopefully  shake  off)  any  dust  particles  that
                                  might  have  migrated  behind  the  fixed  mirror.
                                  (Section 9.11)
            Demo Mode             Always greyed out.  Is designed for retailers.  You
                                  can safely ignore this.
            Remote Ctrl           Enables the infrared receiver (located at the front
                                  of  the  grip)  for  use  with  an  optional  IR  remote
                                  control.  It uses extra battery power so keep this off
                                  if you're not using it.  (Section 9.13)
            HDMI Settings         Brings you to three HDMI-related menus, including
                                  one that controls resolutions.  (Section 9.13)


           Toolbox menu     4

            Function             Setting
            USB Connection        How do you want your camera to appear to your
                                  computer when tethered via USB?  I go for “Mass
                                  Storage” and I explain why in Section 9.15.
            USB LUN Setting       This  has  to  do  with  the  fact  that  the  camera  can
                                  appear as multiple devices when plugged into your
                                  computer.    I  have  it  set  to  Multi  because  the
                                  manual vaguely says this is needed when used with
                                  Sony’s  software  “PlayMemories  Home”.    Mac
