MAINTENANCE menu

This menu contains items for making settings for audio, timecode, essence marks, and battery.

FILE menu

This menu is for saving the adjusted data in the camcorder memory or in a “Memory Stick”. The following files can be saved.

User files

User files save the setting items and setting data of customized USER menus. You can save up to 100 user files in a “Memory Stick”. Once you save a user file in a “Memory Stick”, you can easily set the USER menu to your preference by loading the file.

For details on user files, see “Saving and Recalling User Files” on page 186.

ALL files

ALL files save the setting data of all of the menus. You can save up to 100 ALL files in a “Memory Stick”.

Once a camcorder is set up according to your preferences and you save an ALL file in a “Memory Stick”, you can easily set other camcorders to those settings by loading the data from the “Memory Stick”.

Note

Device specific data (output levels and shading that requires adjustment for the specific device) is not saved.

Scene files

In the scene file, the setting values of PAINT menu items set to shoot a particular scene are saved. You can save up to five scene files in the camcorder memory and up to 100 scene files in a “Memory Stick”. For example, first adjust the settings to shoot a rehearsal of a particular scene and then save them as a scene file. Then load that file before the actual shooting so that you can quickly recreate setup conditions of the rehearsal.

Reference files

Reference files save the reference values that are set when STANDARD is executed in the SCENE FILE page of the PAINT menu. You can save one reference file in the internal memory of the unit and one in a “Memory Stick”.

Lens files

Lens files save the setting data used to compensate for the characteristics of lenses, such

as flare, white shading, and auto iris gain. You can save up to 32 lens files in the internal memory of the unit and up to 100 lens files in a “Memory Stick”.

DIAGNOSIS menu

This menu shows the digital hours meter, the ROM version, and information about the internal device status of the camcorder.
