  Ex3 – Backing up / Restoring Look Settings

  Posted by Manny Kivowitz on May 2, 2009 at 10:00 pm

  I’ve checked the manual but can’t seem to find a method for backing up and/or restoring the camera “look” settings. I realize that they can be stored internally but is there a way to copy them off to one of the SxS cards so that you can share them among multiple cameras?

  Thanks!

  Yes, you can store what’s known as a “Setup File” to an SxS Pro card. It’s actually a complete copy of all menu settings including the picture profiles, essentially a backup of all your camera’s settings. Only one Setup File can be stored on one SxS memory card. You can then transfer these settings to another EX camera via the card.

  Page 76 of the PDF version of the EX1 owner’s manual will show you how to do it.
