Making changes

To find out where you have to go to change a function, consult the appendix to discover under which menu group or subgroup the function you want to change is located.

If the cursor points to an item (and there are no double arrows to indicate a sub-menu) then the item pointed to has a value. The value can be:

-a toggle value (only two values)

-a list value (more than two values)

-an analogue value (variable from 00 to 99) or unavailable (---).

If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This is indicated by three dashes (---). This can occur, for example, when a function is switched off. The analogue values associated with that function are then unavailable.

If there are only two values associated with the function, then pressing the Select button toggles between these two values.

If a value is displayed next to a function that is one of several possible values, then pressing the Select button places the cursor in a list menu indicating the value currently selected. Use the Rotary control to point to a new value. Press the Select button to return the cursor to the function list.

If an analogue value is displayed next to a function name, then pressing the Select button places the cursor in front of the value and the Rotary control is used to change the analogue value. Press the Select button to return the cursor to the function list.

Undoing changes

If you make changes to the video settings in the Systems menu and you decide not to keep them, use the Std. File button at the side of the camera to recall a standard set of values for the video parameters.

Menu Structure

There is one top menu which contains six main menus. The numbering scheme and the reasons for grouping the functions under these heading is explained below. For a full list of menu functions refer to the table in the appendix.

Menu numbers

The main menus are numbered from 1 to 6. Each main function under the main menu is given a second digit (for example, the Gain under the Operate menu is given number 11, the Black function 12). In some cases a third level number is given. For example, the skin function of the contour function of the Setup menu has number 256.

The first digit refers to the main menu

1for Operate

2for Setup

3for VF/Lens

4for Install

5for Files

6for Diagnostics

The second digit refers to the function under the main menu. A third digit, if present, refers to the sub- function. This numbering system is used to assign particular functions to the programmable user switches when they are being customized.

The menu number appears under and to the left of the menu display.

Note

Do not confuse the menu number with the line numbers. Because of the TOP and PREVIOUS menu items, the menu numbers are 2 less than the line numbers. This is not the case for the Main menus as there are no TOP and PREVIOUS items available in the TOP menu itself. The TOP menu shows five main menu items initially. If you scroll through the display, one additional menus appears. To see how many lines a menu has, look at the number under and to the right of the menu. This number, for example, 1-7 indicates that the cursor is at line 1 and that there are 7 lines altogether.

Menu logic

Operate menu

This menu contains the functions which are normally used during the operation of the camera.

Setup menu

The setup menu contains those functions which are initialized before starting shooting. In many cases these are the individual (R, G and B) analogue setup parameters of functions which are switched in the operate menu.
