Each time the unit’s MODE CHECK button is pressed, one of the four screen displays is selected in the following sequence: STATUS screen display > !LED screen display > FUNCTION screen display > AUDIO screen display.

Each screen is displayed for about 3 seconds. When the MODE CHECK button is pressed while one screen is displayed, the next screen is displayed.

4-7-8 Marker check screen displays (MARKER SELECT button function)

The screens enabling the unit’s marker statuses to be checked can be displayed in the viewfinder.

Each time the unit’s MARKER SELECT button is pressed, one or none of the two screen displays is selected in the following sequence: A marker screen display > B marker screen display > no display.

When the MARKER SELECT button is pressed while one screen is displayed, the next screen is displayed. Before this, perform menu operations to open the <VF MARKER> screen from the VF page, select A as the TABLE item setting, and select the marker information for the other items.

Next, select B as the TABLE item setting, and select the marker information for the other items.

If, for instance, “16:9” is selected for the FRAME SIG item as the A marker information and “4:3” is selected for the FRAME SIG item as the B marker information, then the 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios can be checked easily by operating the MARKER SELECT button as and when required.
