Basic menu operations

By pressing and turning the MENU knob, you can set various menu items. In the remainder of this section, the viewfinder screen is generally shown as an example of the menu display, but a similar display also appears on the LCD monitor.

To select the setting items and values on the menu

Turn the MENU knob to select in the cases explained below.

When the camcorder is powered on, flick the MENU switch to the ON position to display the menu on the viewfinder screen and the LCD monitor of the camcorder. If this is the first time the menu has been used after the camcorder has been powered on, the USER menu is displayed. If the menu has been used before, the last accessed page appears.

When the menu is not displayed on the LCD monitor

Press the DISP SEL button on the lower left of the LCD monitor to select the CHAR display.

To end menu operations

Flick the MENU switch to OFF.

When the DISPLAY switch on the viewfinder is set to ON or the VF DISP item on the VF DISP 1 page is set to ON, the display indicating the current status of the camcorder appears on the viewfinder.

For details, see “Selecting the display items” on page 98.
