Using the FUNC. Menu and Setup Menus
The camcorder’s functions and settings can be adjusted using the FUNC. menu and setup menus. For details
about the available menu options and settings, refer to the appendix

navigating the menus is explained using mainly the touch panel controls but they can also be navigated using the
joystick and other buttons. The procedure below explains how to use both methods. If necessary, refer back to
this section for details on using the joystick.
FUNC. Menu
The FUNC. menu contains camera-related functions, such as shutter speed and aperture, used while shooting.
The icons of each function’s current setting appears on both sides of the menu. The left side contains functions
used prior to shooting while the right side contains functions that can be used while shooting. You can even
change what functions appear on the right side of the FUNC. menu (
