+coast2coast2coast Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I believe that it is set to "millibars" (metric) and your house one is in inches of mercury *We are teaching our Zoe dog to sniff out Tupperware...* Quote Link to comment

That's what human's have been doing to the planet, species by species until we "edit" ourselves to extinction! Is that what they say when publishing houses lay off people? "He was edited to extinction.." 'Twould be applicable to video post production facilities and audio post as well. Sorry for the aside, just enjoyed, had to share, Randy Quote Link to comment

I was going to be a wiseguy and say "Go look it up in your owner's manual, but I looked in my owner's manual and discovered the info isn't there. Here's how you do it: Go to the "Main Menu," select "Setup," then select "Units," and change the last item ("Pressure") to read "Inches (HG)." Quote Link to comment
