You cannot. The language is stuck in the language that it comes in, sadly. I had to return mine due to this issue. It was in Chinese but I needed English. I had to order a whole new one. I even contacted Sekonic about the issue and they told me there was nothing they could do.

Yes there is a language setting. The operations manual will walk you through the set up.

You need to scroll thru the menu using the little Black buttons located on the in line cable , You need to have a monitor to view thw menu while doing so. Once you hook up camera and are able to view the onscreen menu it is pretty easy to just scroll down and you will see the options, select english, should be good to go. If menu reads in chinese scroll and hit each option will come up.

There was a two sheet op manual provided originally. If don't find it. Them all need to do for setup is use Menu butto for settings( there are two settings) so when pressed once it gets the first set of menues and press Menu again and get the 2nd set options. Use up and down arrows to scroll to a desired setting then press OK to enter and use arrows again to highlight your options. When selected press OK to accept. Whenever needing to exit press Menu button. Don't ever reset to original because the language changes to Chinese. I have reverted it back to English. If needing help with that let me know. Good luck.

Good luck! I had the same problem and basically stumbled through the Chinese menu on the camera to get the the English menu. Definitely a big problem with this product.

I've tried pushing the Info button on the remote and a display menu pops up in the corner and scroll below the little speaker icon there is a sub menu to control the subtitles and language track.

I don't believe this on can be switched, however you may be able to find one in Spanish since they have one available.in German.

GO TO "Settings", then to "Locale & text" (line 11 from top), then "Select language" and you can select whichever language listed.

The menu is in English by default (out of the box). This is a great camera.
