• PAINT menu

This menu contains items for making detailed image adjustments while using a waveform monitor to monitor the waveforms output by the camera. Support of a video engineer is usually required to use this menu. Although you can also use an external remote control panel or master setup unit to set the items on this menu, this menu is effective when using the camcorder by itself outdoors.

• MAINTENANCE menu

This menu contains items for performing camera maintenance operations, such as changing the system or using infrequently used “paint” items.

• FILE menu

This menu is for performing file operations, such as writing the reference file.

• DIAGNOSIS menu

This menu enables you to confirm the VTR status or identify a failed circuit board.

Returning to the TOP menu from other menus

There are two methods.

•Align the b mark with “TOP” at the top right of the menu page, and press the MENU knob.

•Push the CANCEL/PRST / ESCAPE switch down to the ESCAPE position repeatedly until the TOP menu appears.
