1.
If necessary move the cursor to the left column with the
Select
button.
2.
Scroll upwards with the
Rotary
control until the cursor points to
TOP

When you press the
Select
button you enter the
SYSTEM
menu at the last position of the
cursor. To prevent confusion the next time you enter the
SYSTEM
menu, you may want to
always leave the menu by returning to the
MAIN
menu (TOP) and selecting
MENU OFF
.
4.4.5 Making changes
To find out where you have to go to change a function, consult the tables in the
“Viewfinder
menu” on page 143
to discover under which menu group or sub-group the function you want
to change is located. If the cursor points to an item (and there are no double arrows to indicate
a sub-menu) then the item pointed to has a value. The value can be:
–
a toggle value (only two values)
–
a list value (more than two values)
–
an analogue value (variable from 0 to 99)
–
unavailable (---).
If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This is indicated by three dashes (---). This can
occur, for example, when a function is switched off. The analogue values associated with that
function are then unavailable.
If there are only two values associated with the function, then pressing the
Select
button
toggles between these two values. If a value is displayed next to a function that is one of
several possible values, then pressing the
Select
button places the cursor in a list menu
indicating the value currently selected. Use the
Rotary
control to point to a new value. Press
the
Select
button to return the cursor to the function list.
If an analogue value is displayed next to a function name, then pressing the
Select
button
places the cursor in front of the value and the
Rotary
control is used to change the analogue
value. Press the
Select
button to return the cursor to the function list.
4.4.6 Undoing changes
If you make changes to the video settings in the menu and you decide not to keep them, use
the
Standard Recall
button at the side of the camcorder to recall a standard set of values for
the video parameters.
