Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording — Assigning functions to <USER> buttons

 

 

Item name

Description

 

Assigns the function for recording test memos to frames when the button is pressed. For details on the text memo function, refer to “Text

[TEXT MEMO]

memo recording function” (page 40). This function can be assigned only to the <TEXT MEMO> button. It cannot be assigned to other

 

<USER> buttons.

[LCD B.L]

Toggles the brightness of the LCD monitor backlight. This is interlocked with the setting value in the main menu [I/F SETUP] [LCD

MONITOR] [BACKLIGHT].

 

[EVF CLR]

Selects whether to display video in the viewfinder in color or black and white. This is interlocked with the setting value in the main menu

[VF] [VF DISPLAY] [VF COLOR].

 

[REC MEDIA]

Assigns the function for selecting whether to use the P2 memory card slot or the microP2 memory card slot as the recording slot. This is

interlocked with the setting value in main menu [REC/PB] [REC/PB SETUP] [REC MEDIA].

 

Only the following functions can be assigned to the <SHOT MARKER> and <TEXT MEMO> buttons. ff<SHOT MARKER> button

[INHIBIT]/[Y GET]/[ASSIST]/[REC SW]/[RET SW]/[PRE REC]/[SLOT SEL]/[USB MODE]/[LCD B.L]/[SHOT MARK] ff<TEXT MEMO> button

[INHIBIT]/[Y GET]/[ASSIST]/[REC SW]/[RET SW]/[PRE REC]/[SLOT SEL]/[USB MODE]/[LCD B.L]/[TEXT MEMO]

@@NOTE

tt When the remote control unit AJ‑RC10G (optional) or the extension control unit AG‑EC4G (optional) is connected, and [I.OVR] or [C.TEMP] is assigned to the <USER> buttons on the AJ‑RC10G and AG‑EC4G side, operation of the jog dial button on the camera is disabled.

tt The following functions also turn off when the camera is turned off.

[I.OVR]/[S.BLK]/[B.GAMMA]/[Y GET]/[DRS]/[ASSIST]/[C.TEMP]/[ATW]/[ATW LOCK]/[D.ZOOM]/[S.GAIN]/[DS.GAIN]/[FBC]/[WFM]/[AUD CH1/3]/[AUD CH2/4]/[USB MODE]

Note, however, that the [C.TEMP] color temperature is held after it is altered.

[USER SW GAIN] switching setting

In addition to [L/M/H] standard gain, the [S.GAIN] (super gain) mode for increasing analog gain to 30 dB or more and [DS.GAIN] (digital super gain) for incrementally increasing gain using progressive drive can also be used on the camera.

For selection of this function, set the gains to be used in [S.GAIN] and [DS.GAIN] respectively in advance. Each item can be selected in the main menu

[CAMERA] [USER SW GAIN]. With [S.GAIN], analog gain increase with [ON] set is enabled, and analog gain increase with [OFF] set does not function. With [DS.GAIN], incremental analog gain increase with [ON] set is enabled, and analog gain increase with [OFF] set does not function.

When [S.GAIN] and [DS.GAIN] are assigned to one of the <USER MAIN>, <USER1> or <USER2> buttons, gain can be increased by a combination with each of the <USER> buttons.

When increasing gain without an increase in noise

Use the digital super gain function.

When increasing regular analog gain

Use only the super gain function.

(Noise is increased.)

Note that the precision of auto iris, white balance and black balance is affected since noise

 

increases.

When using as a super high-sensitivity mode

Use a combination of the super gain and digital super gain functions. Note, however, that

 

residual images will stand out more with moving subjects the greater the value for increasing

 

gain by digital super gain is set. Pay sufficient care when using this combination of functions.

 

For moving subjects, use [DS.GAIN] at [12dB] or below.
