Saving the Settings (Memory)
The Memory function is for saving the current camera settings when the
camera is turned off.
For some camera settings, the Memory function is always set to O (On)
(the settings are saved when the camera is turned off), while for others
you can choose O or P (Off) (to choose whether the settings are saved
or not when the camera is turned off). The items which can be set to O
or P in the Memory function are shown in the table below. (Items not
listed here are always saved in the selected settings when the camera is
turned off.)
If you select O, the settings will be saved in the status they were in
immediately before the camera was turned off. If you select P, the
settings will be reset to the defaults when the camera is turned off. The
table below also shows whether the Memory default setting for each item
is O or P.
