Sort an item on the P-MENU

The instructions below will use the X. V. Color control as an example of how to sort an item on the P-MENU. X. V. COLOR is an emerging standard that expands the color range used during capture and display of moving images. The HDR-HC7 camcorder supports this standard. But, the position of the control that turns it on needs to be moved to allow use of the control with the Bluefin HC7. Take the following steps to move this control.

1, If you have not just done so, reset the P-MENU by following the instructions above. (You don’t always want to reset the P-MENU as part of sorting items but it makes this example easier to understand.)

2.Go to the last page of the P-MENU and press the P-MENU SET UP button.

3.Press the SORT button in the lower left position.

4.Press the up arrow button in the upper left corner of the touch screen.

5.Press the X. V. COLOR button (this selects the X. V. COLOR button as the one to be moved.

6.Press the up arrow button in the upper left corner twice. This moves the X. V. COLOR button from position 14 to position 12. (The button position numbers only show up while you are moving the buttons)

7.Press the OK button in the lower right corner.

8.Press the END button in the upper right corner.

The effect of this move is to put the X. V. Color button in the bottom right corner of the second P-MENU screen. Moving it up shifts all the items between its original position and its final position. So, it is a good idea to figure out what buttons you want where and then position them one at a time starting with the lowest button position numbers and working to the highest but- ton position numbers.
