To end menu operations

You can end menu operations using the following two methods:

• Turn the MENU ON/OFF switch to OFF.

•Close the cover of the menu operating section. When you close the cover, the MENU ON/OFF switch is set to OFF automatically.

The menu disappears from the screen, and the display indicating the current status of the camcorder appears along the top and bottom of the screen (when the viewfinder DISPLAY switch is set to ON or the VF DISP item on the VF DISP 1 page of the USER menu is set to “ON”).

For details of the viewfinder display, see 7-2-2 “Selecting the Display Items” on page 123.

7-1-4 Editing the USER Menu

The USER MENU CUSTOMIZE menu allows you to configure a USER menu that consists only of pages and items that you need by adding, deleting or replacing the pages.

Adding a new page

The USER MENU CUSTOMIZE menu allows you to add a new page to the USER menu.

While the EDIT page contains factory-preset items, the USER 1 EDIT to USER 19 EDIT pages and the ASSIGN SEL EDIT page are all blank in their initial state. You can register up to 10 items, including blank lines, on each of these pages.

To add a new page, proceed as follows.

1 While holding down the MENU knob, move the MENU ON/OFF switch from the OFF position to the ON position.

The TOP menu appears.

2 Turn the MENU knob to move the b mark to “USER MENU CUSTOMIZE”, then press the MENU knob.

If this is the first time the USER MENU CUSTOMIZE menu has been displayed, the CONTENTS page of the menu appears.
