MAIN MENU > SETTINGS > User Interface

By altering the User Interface settings, you can control the way the digital back interacts

to suit you and your preferred way of working. It also includes date and time settings.

Entries of the USER INTERFACE Menu

The user interface menu includes both entries and sub-menus. The following entries are

available here:
Language:

The menu system can be displayed in any of seven languages. This menu entry

enables you to select your preferred language for the menus.

Power Down:

To help preserve the charge of the battery, you can set the back to power down

after a specified period of inactivity. The effect is exactly the same as though

you had pressed the off button on the camera. Once it has powered down, you

must turn the digital back on before you can continue working. Set this to

Never

to disable this feature (this is the default setting). Set to a value between

3 and 99 minutes to establish a time-out. (Note the difference between Display

‘timeout’ and Power Down.)

Mark Overexp.:

This feature helps draw your attention to areas of your images that are over-

exposed. When this feature is enabled, the single-image preview display will

highlight each overexposed pixel by flashing it white and black.
Set this entry to On to enable the feature; set to Off to disable it.

Sound:

A CF digital back uses audio feedback to help let you know if each new

image is exposed correctly. This is described in Using Instant Approval

Architecture.
This menu entry has Volume (choose between High, Low and Off), Key Click

(choose between On and Off) and Exposure Warning (choose between On

and Off).

Date & Time:

A CF digital back has an internal clock that keeps track of the date and time.

This information is used to mark each shot with the date and time at which

it was taken. It is also used to label batches with the date on which each batch

was created.

Display:

This feature sets the Timeout (2-30 seconds) on the display, which behaves

very much like a screen saver on a computer.When the timeout is reached, the

display will be turned off, but the back will still be running, so it will imme-

diately respond to a press of the buttons. (Note the difference between Display

‘timeout’ and Power Down.)
This feature also sets the level of Contrast (on a scale of 1-10) on the display.

Usually, you should leave this set to the default level of 5; however in some

viewing environments and/or with some types of images you may wish to

increase or decrease this value. A value of 10 provides maximum contrast; a

value of 0 provides no contrast (a black screen). You can also help save battery

power by using a low value here.
This feature also sets the Brightness (on a scale of 1-10) on the display. This

sets the brightness shown on the screen. Usually, you should leave this set to

the default level of 5, however in some viewing environments and/or with some

types of images you may wish to increase or decrease this value. A value of 10

provides maximum brightness; a value of 0 provides minimal brightness. You

can also help save battery power by using a low value here.
