Registering grid lines to the camera

The image to be used as the grid lines needs to be registered to the camera in advance. Only files in the PNG format can be registered. You can register up to 4 grid lines.

“Custom Gridline Generator” allows you to register grid lines directly to the camera by connecting the camera to a computer when you create grid lines. For details, refer to “Using “Custom Gridline Generator”.”

This section explains how to register an image saved on a memory card as grid lines from MENU on the camera.

  1. MENU → [Shooting] → [Shooting Display] → [Grid Line Type].
  2. Select the desired item from (Custom 1) to (Custom 4) and press the right side of the control wheel.
  3. Select [Import].
    • If your camera has multiple memory card slots, a slot selection screen will appear. Select the slot containing the PNG file.
  4. Select the desired PNG file using the top/bottom sides of the control wheel.
    • A preview of the PNG file over which you have the cursor will be displayed on the right side of the screen.
    • If the file name contains invalid characters, the file name is too long, or the file extension is not “.PNG”, the file will not be displayed. Make sure the file name and the file format are appropriate.
  5. Select [OK].

To replace registered grid lines

Select the item to replace in Step 2 and perform the operations from Step 3 to 5 to overwrite it with another PNG file.

Hint

  • The registered grid lines will be copied to the camera. After registration, you can use the grid lines even if you remove the memory card from the camera or delete the PNG file from the memory card.
  • When you initialize the camera, the registered custom grid lines are also deleted.
  • Once grid lines are registered to the camera, the display direction of the grid lines when the camera is held vertically cannot be changed on the camera. Adjust the display direction before registering the grid lines.
    • If you tilt the camera 90 degrees to the right, the left side of the PNG file will be the top when shooting.
    • If you tilt the camera 90 degrees to the left, the right side of the PNG file will be the top when shooting.

    “Custom Gridline Generator” allows you to check and adjust the display direction and the camera orientation as you create grid lines.
