Menu Functions and Function Softkeys
Each menu function on the menu display has a button next to it called a
softkey
.
Press the softkey to activate a function and/or to toggle through any function
options related to it. In the Border/Crop illustration, the black highlight indi-
cates that Border function is selected and its Edge option is activated.
Function Parameters and Parameter Softknobs
Determine the look of each function you select by adjusting the values in the
Function Parameters at the bottom of the menu display. There are three ways to
change values for the parameters:
■
Using the Softknobs – Twist the Parameter Softknobs associated with the
function. Use this method to interactively see how adjusting that parameter
affects the image. Using the softknob adjusts the values slowly and with
incremental control. You can twist the softknob until the image looks good
to you and leave it.
■
Using the Joystick
– Twist the joystick and/or moving it horizontally or verti-
cally, to change a parameter and thus modify an effect.
■
Entering Values into the Keypad
– Enter values in the numeric keypad, then
press A, B, C or D to place those values into the associated parameter field.
Use this method if you know specifically what values you need to use to cre-
ate your effect.
Example:
In the Border/Crop example, since the Border Edge is active, twist-
ing one of the four softknobs would adjust values for either the left, right, top or
bottom of the border edge. For example, you could twist the B softknob to
adjust the Right border edge to .5000 or you could enter
.
5 in the keypad, then
press B.
Note: In HD mode the numbering system is based on 16 x 9 and in SD it is based on 1 x .75.
These different numbering systems can affect the softknob ranges differently.
Keypad Buffer
The keypad buffer information tells you what you have entered in the numeric
keypad. It can display any of the following information:
■
Empty buffer
– this is the default state of the buffer. No information is wait-
ing to be entered into any parameter.
