Camera Menus

* Because of honeycomb layout of SuperCCD pixels the camera first produces
a 12 MP 'processed' (interpolated) image from the 6.3 million input pixels.
If a smaller size is required this image is then downsampled.

This is the main record menu, all options are available in the creative exposure modes of P, A, S or M. A subset of these options are available in Auto or Scene Program modes. This menu would normally be displayed over the live view, we have used a black background for clarity.
