How Can I Change The Menu To English?

I bought this camera used on Craiglist and the menu seems to be in Chinese or Japanese. Would be easier to change to English than learn Chinese :)

Unfortunately it sounds like you have the Japanese model which doesn't have an option to change to English. I would try and get a refund.
