The camera should be in Live mode with the live image showing in the viewfinder and the

Camera Defaults
When you turn the camera on for the first time, the menus show these default values:

If you change these values, the camera retains the new values when it is turned off. To return to
the default values, press the + and – buttons together.

This button displays the current event number. The event counter automatically increments by
one each time you record an event. Change the values with the + or – buttons, or reset the
counter to 0000 by pressing the + and - buttons simultaneously. (This also resets other values;
refer to paragraph 4.1.1 above.)

after the event, set the Trigger to 10% to 90%, depending on the number of before and after
pictures you want. 10% means that you will see 10% of the sequence before the event and
90% after the event. Select 0% to see only the frames after the event. Refer to 1.6.2.
