WL. REMOTE: Allows the camcorder to be operated with the wireless controller.

BEEP: A beep will accompany some operations like turning on the camcorder, the self- timer countdown, etc. It also serves as a warning beep under unusual conditions.

POWER SAVE: In order to save power when the camcorder is powered by a battery pack, it will automatically shut off if left without any operation for five minutes. Approximately 30 seconds before the camcorder shuts off the message “ AUTO POWER OFF” will appear.

FILE NOS.: Select the image numbering method to be used on a new memory card or disc.

Images are automatically assigned consecutive image numbers from 0101 to 9900, and stored in folders containing up to 100 images. Folders are numbered from 101 to 998.

[RESET]: Image numbering will start anew from 101-0101 every time you insert a new memory card or disc. If it already contains image files, a new image will be given the number following that of the last image on the card or disc.

[CONTINUOUS]: Image numbering will start from the number following that of the last image recorded with the camcorder. If the memory card or disc already contains an image with a larger image number, a new image will be given the number following that of the last image on the recording media. This method is useful for organizing images on a computer. We recommend using the [CONTINUOUS] setting.
