Camera Menus
 |
The GF1 fits its many options onto 21 pages of menus. These are divided into six categories: Record, Motion Picture, Custom Menu, Setup, the customizable My Menu and Playback. Generally you'll find all the options where you'd expect them and, after a short while with the GF1, navigating the menus is easy. Note that you get a much smaller subset of menus in full Auto mode. |
