5.9.4 Customer standard files

You can define a customer standard file for the standard scene file and for the standard operator's file. The contents of the customer files for both these standard files is stored via the SECURITY menu. The selection of a factory defined or a customer defined file for use as a standard file is also made in this menu. You can only access the functions of the SECURITY menu with an owner's card or the PIN code of the camera.

5.10User levels

The user level function in the SECURITY menu restricts access, in varying degrees, to the operational controls of the camera. You can only access the functions of the SECURITY menu with an owner's card or the PIN code of the camera.

5.10.1 Selecting the user level

There are four user levels: user0, user1, user2 and user3. The purpose of the user levels is to restrict the set of functions which can be changed by whoever is using the camera. In this way a more centralized and uniform control can be achieved and the danger of the camera operator accidentally changing critical functions while shooting is reduced.

User level 0 is a special protection level which locks most of the operational controls of the camera. Use this level to ensure that a camera that has been set-up is not tampered with. User level 0 is not normally used for operational purposes as it is too restrictive for normal circumstances. The recommended minimum user level is 1. For full control set the level to 3. When you switch off the power, the access rights that were obtained by the use of the PIN code are disabled and the camera starts at the assigned user level when switched on again.

Disable camera

The disable camera function is a protection function which prevents unauthorised interference with the camera and provides an additional level of security. Setting disable camera to ON is similar to using User level 0 to protect the settings of the camera.
