Took delivery of my new ps4 yesterday, loads of options on startup - are there any must have settings i need to change or is default ok? (i have turned off key press sounds and that depressing menu music)

My only niggle at the minute is the pop up menu at the bottom of the screen - can this be turned off? Everytime i move the controller the menu appears. Also when watching game trailers etc this menu stays on - i can press a directional button and it will disappear for a second or 2 but then comes back.
 
Triangle usually hides the menus when you're viewing stuff.

If you want to use rest mode so it downloads updates, charges controllers etc while not in use you'll probably need to turn those settings on.
 
Not sure what pop up menu you mean,, never noticed anything like that?

Most default settings are ok.

Maybe adjust your privacy settings in the account settings section to how you would like them.

You can always lower the light output on the DS4 to save battery. (Not sure if it makes much difference mind you).

And just check you have all rest mode features how you want them, i.e download/install game/system updates in rest mode.
 
Press Share to bring up the share screen and then options so you can set your screenshots to PNG instead of JPG.

Any advantage to changing from jpg to png?

JPEG
Lossy format - it compresses colour and grayscale continous tones by discarding pixels which degrades the image adding jpeg artifacts.
Transparency - doesn't support transparency
Supports 24 bit colours - Best suited for photographs or very complex images/graphics.
Line drawings - does not work well with these.
Sharpness - can suffer as a result of the lossy effect where data is discarded
Web - Supported by all web browsers (to my knowledge)



PNG

Lossless format - It compresses the image without disgarding data
Transparency - PNG supports transparency in images - including alpha channels
Web - Not supported by some browsers, especially older ones
Supports 64 bit colours - especially useful in capturing screen shots, PNG can capture greater colour depths than JPEG, and the lossy nature makes for a much BETTER screen capture.
