This is a basic summary based on both the menu

settings and the actual buttons on the camera. I’ve

omitted certain information that I found either self-

explanatory or irrelevant to students. I’ve also kept

away from advance video and audio settings. Please

refer to the manufacturer’s PDF manual for a more in-

depth look.
