Using SetupNavi and SetupLog

The SetupNavi function records a setting of the setup menu and setup files onto a tape, so that the same settings can be called up and used again or copied to another camera.

The SetupLog function records a camera setting every few seconds at shooting and displays the recorded data in the viewfinder during playback.

Note on using an RCP-TX7/RM-M7G Remote Control Unit

When an RCP-TX7/RM-M7G is connected to the camcorder, you can use neither the SetupNavi function nor the SetupLog function.

To make it possible to use these functions, power OFF the camcorder after disconnecting the RCP-TX7/RM- M7G, then power ON the camcorder again.
