Passing Down the Custom Preset Setting to the Other Camcorders
This is how to transfer the Custom Preset file to other camcorders using a card to make clone
camcorders.
The Custom Preset files created by XL2 and XL H1 are mutually compatible and the files
created by XH G1 and XH A1 are mutually compatible as well. However, files created by XL2/
XL H1 are not compatible to XH G1/XH A1 and vice versa.
[Preparations]
Insert the card to the camcorder that is set to the EXT.CONT. mode. Connect the camcorder to the
computer and install the AV/C Camera Storage Subunit-WIA driver (
1-7). If you already installed
the driver, you do not need to re-install it.
For details about the steps 3 to 6, refer to “Inserting/Removing a Memory Card” and “Using the
Custom Preset” on the camcorder instruction manual.

camcorder, and save the file on the camcorder. Installation of the AV/C Camera Storage
Subunit-WIA driver may be needed for the second camcorder.
