FIG 4.8
A source of wonder for some photographers, and a source of confusion for others, the Menu can look daunting. Don’t let it bother you. My suggestion is to open it, dive in, and play with it. You won’t wreck the camera, and if you mess something up and don’t know how to fix it, you can always return to Canon’s default settings and start from scratch.
Each camera model’s Menu is divided by topic and each topic is delineated by an icon. As Canon’s models move up the scale, from consumer to prosumer to professional, the number of menu items naturally increases, although the icons are consistent (FIG 4.8).
The number of Menu options varies from model to model, from 17 on the current Rebel XTi to 57 on the new Mark III, but here are some that are common to all models, with explanations of what they do and some practical advice on how to make them work for you.
