Hi,
I am trying to capture JPG images of each of the Menu pages which appear on my rear camera screen.
Is there an easy way to do this.
Thanks,
BAnsl.
Another camera or a smart phone?
Why? I agree with the last response though. Use another camera with good close-up capabilities. Smart phone, maybe. It might be limited on close ups.
Crayons or colored pencil.
Or go to dpreview, pull up all the review pages with the menus on them, and use the Snipping Tool (Windows Accessories) to get a screen capture of the portion of the screen you need and save it as a file. Do this with each menu. (Snipping tool is a Windows Screen capture utility that allows you to pick the portion of the screen you want to create either a jpeg or png of).
Easy to use. I have it on my task bar. See?

I have the same app. It's a handy little tool that I use often but I'm not sure it would fit the request unless you could show the camera menus on your computer screen.

Not knowing what camera you have....For Example, if it's a Nikon

On a Mac you can take a screen shot of all or any part of what shows. Hit at one time command/shift/4. This gives your curser a little cross hair which you can click and drag. When you let go, the defined area is a jpeg on your desktop.

Back when I was creating training videos for Herff Jones Photography, here's how I did it:
I connected the Video Out connector on the camera I was using to a video input on a camcorder, and recorded ten seconds of video for each menu of the Canon EOS xxD I was documenting.
I then played the video from the camera into iMovie on my Mac, and saved screen grabs from each menu as JPEG files.
It worked like a charm, MUCH better than photographing the back of the camera.
Ditto snagit. Been using it for years to report bugs and create training documentation.

You want images of the Menus right, not a photo you took? Several people answered that with interesting solutions. A few did not seem to understand the question.

I did that with my iPhone. I needed to reset my SX 50 & I wanted a visual record of the settings before I did so.
I keep them stored on my iPhone for reference.
