5-2 Status Display on the Viewfinder Screen

The viewfinder screen displays not only the video picture but also characters and messages indicating the camcorder settings and operating status, a center marker, a safety zone marker, etc.

When the MENU ON/OFF switch is set to OFF and the DISPLAY switch is set to ON, the items for which an “ON” setting was made in the VF DISP1 page of the USER menu or with related switches are displayed at the top and bottom of the screen. The messages that give details of the settings and adjustment progress and results can also be made to appear for about 3 seconds while settings are being changed, during adjustment, and after adjustment.

For information about setting change and adjustment progress messages, see “5-2-3 Display Modes and Setting Change Confirmation/Adjustment Progress Messages” on page 77.
