Custom Picture Settings
The camera lets you change many settings (
A
131) that control various aspects of the image produced. As a
set, all these settings are treated as a single custom picture file. After adjusting the desired settings to your
preference, you can save up to 20 custom picture files (in the camera or on an SD card), and load them later to
apply exactly the same settings (
A
129). You can also save the custom picture file as part of the metadata
recorded with XF-AVC clips (
A
129).
Custom picture settings have no effect on RAW recordings.
NOTES
• Custom picture files are exclusively compatible for use only with the same camera model (between C300 Mark
III cameras or between C500 Mark II cameras).
