RET Button

The images recorded on the VTR or return video signal which has been input to the GENLOCK IN connector can be seen on the viewfinder screen when the RET (return) button is pressed or while it is kept pressed in.

What appears on the viewfinder screen differs as shown in the table below depending on the RET SW setting for setting menu MAIN FUNCTION and the VTR status.

Note{

When the REC SIGNAL item is set to VIDEO (when recording external input) at the MAIN FUNCTION page of the setting menu, the external input appears on the viewfinder screen. How- ever, the camera image appears on the viewfinder screen while the RET button is held down.
