Camera Name

it’s so impersonal calling it “Hey, camera.” Also, the camera name is
included in every picture file. You can also set this setting through the
Capture mode settings on the camera.

version number. You can also view the camera firmware version on the LCD

File Type

pictures. You can choose JPEG (.jpg), which can be used by many software

speed in displaying your pictures and the ability to undo and redo edits in
software programs such as Picture Easy. You can also set this setting
through the Capture settings on the camera.
