Menu operations

The setting menu operations are performed using the MENU button and JOG dial button. The menu configuration is divided into the camera unit’s setting menus and VTR unit’s setting menus.

It is possible to select the engineer menu which enables all the setting menu items to be set or, alternatively, the user menu which consists of individually tailored menus so that only those menus which will be used most frequently can be set.

User menu

The user menu was set when the unit was shipped. However, the user can change the configuration of the menus by selecting only those menus which will be used most frequently so that they will be tailored to the user’s individual needs.

Set the user menu on the USER MENU SELECT 1, 2, and 3 screen of the engineer menu. The data settings are saved in the non-volatile memory for long-term storage. The menu settings performed in the film mode and video mode are saved separately.

Display method

O When the MENU button is pressed, the camera unit’s USER menu screen is displayed.

O When the MENU button is pressed again, the VTR unit’s USER menu screen is displayed.

O When the MENU button is pressed once more, the menu screen display is cleared.
