Menus and Indications Screen Viewfinder 4 Chapter

Viewfinder Basic Menu

To display the basic menu pages, press the MENU/ STATUS switch downward while the normal indications are being shown in the viewfinder. The basic menu configuration can include up to eight pages (the configuration depends on the switch settings and the type of connected VTR).

Basic Menu Operations

The common operations on all basic menu pages are described below.

To change the page or item

The cursor is moved downward each time you press the MENU/STATUS switch down. Once the cursor has reached the last item on a page, press down the MENU/STATUS switch to go to the next page. When the last page is being displayed, pressing down the MENU/STATUS switch returns the display to the normal indications.

The cursor is moved upward each time you press up the MENU/STATUS switch. Once the cursor has reached the first item on a page, pressing up the MENU/STATUS switch returns the display to the normal indications.

To change settings

After using the MENU/STATUS switch to move the cursor to the item on which you will change the setting, press either the UP/ON button or the DOWN/ OFF button to select the desired value.

To reset any item to its shipped settings, press the UP/ ON button and the DOWN/OFF button at the same time.
