# Setting the Operating Mode (Stills or Video)

The <span class="s2">**Set Mode**</span> screen allows you to choose whether the sensor operates in <span class="s2">**Still Mode**</span> or <span class="s2">**Video Mode**</span>. This determines which set of menu screens and settings will be available.

#### **Changing the Operating Mode**

1. From the <span class="s1">**Home Screen**</span>, press the <span class="s1">**Left Arrow**</span> once to reach the <span class="s1">**Set Mode**</span> screen.
2. Use the <span class="s1">**Up**</span> or <span class="s1">**Down**</span> buttons to toggle between: 
    - <span class="s1">**S**</span> — *Still Mode*
    - <span class="s1">**V**</span> — *Video Mode*

#### **Notes**

- The <span class="s1">**current mode**</span> is always shown on the <span class="s1">**Home Screen**</span> as either <span class="s1">**S**</span> (Still) or <span class="s1">**V**</span> (Video).
- Changing mode will update the available menu screens to show the relevant settings for that mode.
