Photo Cropping
You can save cropped images at the same time when shooting by using grid lines with a predefined cropping area.
To enable [Photo Cropping], all of the following conditions must be met:
- A cropping area is set on the grid lines.
- The grid lines are registered to any of the settings
(Custom 1) to 
(Custom 4). - MENU → [Shooting] → [Shooting Display] → [Photo Cropping] is set to [On].
- MENU → [Shooting] → [Shooting Display] → [Grid Line Display] is set to [On].
To use this function, you also need a license for the Custom Grid Line function. For more information on the Custom Grid Line function and how to set cropping areas on grid lines, refer to the following “Help Guide.”
- Save grid lines with a cropping area on a memory card and insert it into the camera.
- MENU → [Shooting] → [Shooting Display] → [Grid Line Type] → Select the registration destination from (Custom 1) to (Custom 4), and then select [Import].
- Select the grid lines with the cropping area, press the center, and select [OK].
The grid lines will be registered as custom grid lines.
- MENU → [Shooting] → [Shooting Display] → [Grid Line Display] → [On].
- MENU → [Shooting] → [Shooting Display] → [Photo Cropping] → [On].
