Setup Menu
The Setup menu allows adjustment of basic operational settings like date/time, screen brightness and energy saving options to prolong battery life, as well as an option for memory card formatting. The G3 can be connected to an HDMI screen at a choice of different output resolutions. You can also connect the camera to a compatible 3D TV when viewing images shot with the H-FT012E lens.
