GH6: Auto Review setting gone
2

Hi

I'm on Body Firmware 1.2.

I would like to change the Hold time for reviewing an image just taken.

Page 565 of the PDF Manual has [Auto Review ] setting. At the top of that page it shows:

[Custom] menu ([Monitor / Display (Photo)])

When I go into the camera, to   Custom,  and reach the screen where it says Monitor/Display ,  I see

  • Power Save Mode
  • Thermal Management
  • Monitor Frame Rate
  • Monitor Settings
  • Monitor Backlight
  • Eye Sensor
  • Level Gauge Adjust

I've scrolled through the entire menu system several times and cannot locate the Auto Review settings.

Based on the PDF other settings it shows are not on that menu in the camera, e.g.  Constant Preview

Was the PDF never correct?  Have the firmware updates changed the menus in the camera from the PDF?

Can anyone find (and tell me) where the Auto Review setting is?

To see both the auto review settings, and the constant preview settings, you cannot be in creative video mode. (I just checked mine in “manual” mode)

Go to the “gear”, Then the fourth menu down which is the first “camera body”, and you will see:

– Auto Review - Duration Time

– Constant Preview

Happy shooting!

Re: GH6: Auto Review setting gone

Dave, Thank you.  I was going to the Wrench when it should have been the gear as you showed in your answer.

Even though my original question was answered, I'm going to ask a follow-up question ...

I want to Add the Auto Review to a function button, e.g. the dial, left edge rocker press and  hold so it will allow me to assign something.  I can't make much sense out of how they present the options there compared to the regular menu.  And, once again I can't find the Auto Review.   Hoping you or someone else can spot it for me.

I have reviewed the options for FN assignment and I cannot find one for Auto Review.

My only guess (and it is pure speculation) is that because the value of auto review is not changed often, and it is a “playback“ function and not a “shooting“ function, that it is not available to be added to a Fn button.

As you said, maybe somebody else will have some insight.

Hi Dave

Your theory sounds reasonable.

Maybe someone will have additional info

Thanks for looking.

I did previously add the    Play button to the right rocker so I could hit the rocker instead of Left hand up to the play button.   It's the Play button itself so maybe it breaks the theory.  Perhaps just on the edge of the theory !
