Settings saved using the camera or other cameras of the same model can be restored by selecting Load settings. Note that Save/load settings is only available when a memory card is inserted in the camera, and that the Load settings option is only available if the card contains saved settings.

Saved Settings

Settings are saved in a file with a name beginning with “NCSET” and ending with three characters that differ from camera to camera. The camera will not be able to load settings if the file name is changed.
