5.1 Video settings
5.1.1 Standard settings
To make sure that some of the camera functions are not set to unusual values, a standard file
has been defined that contains the default values for most video functions. The
“Camera
menu reference” on page 81 lists the values that are set when the standard file is recalled.
To recall the standard values for the various video functions, press the green STD File button
on the left side of the camera and hold it for two seconds. The standard values only take effect
when the camera is not On Air.
The standard file can be selected as either a factory or a customer standard file. Changing the
standard file can only be done in the
SECURITY
menu if a PIN code is used.
