The OPERATION menu
This menu contains items for changing settings according
to conditions related to the subject when the camcorder is
being operated.
The PAINT menu
This menu contains items for making detailed image
adjustments while using a waveform monitor to monitor
the waveforms output by the camera. Support of a video
engineer is usually required to use this menu. Although
you can also use an external remote control unit to set the
items on this menu, this menu is effective when using the
camcorder by itself outdoors.
The MAINTENANCE menu
This menu contains items for performing camera
maintenance operations, such as changing the VTR system
or using infrequently used paint items.
The FILE menu
This menu is for saving the adjusted data in the camcorder
memory or in a “Memory Stick”. The following files can
be saved.
The user file
In the user file, the setting items and setting data of the
customized USER menu are saved. Once you save the user
file in a “Memory Stick”, you can easily set the USER
menu to your preference by loading the data from the
“Memory Stick”.
For details on the user file, see “Saving and Loading User
Files” on page 109.
The ALL file
In the ALL file, the setting data of all of the menus are
saved. Once a camcorder is set according to your
preferences and you save its ALL file in a “Memory
Stick”, you can easily set other camcorders to the settings
of the camcorder that you already set by loading the data
from the “Memory Stick”.
Items included in the ALL file are marked with an “A” in
the “File” column on the menu list.
The preset file
In the preset file, the preset values of setting items in the
menu are saved. You can save the preset file in the built-in
memory of the camcorder.
Items included in the preset file are marked with a “P” in
the “File” column on the menu list.
The scene file
In the scene file, the setting values of event items adjusted
to shoot a particular scene are saved. You can save up to
five scene files in the camcorder memory and up to 100
scene files in a “Memory Stick”. For example, first adjust
the settings to shoot a particular scene at the rehearsal and
then save them as a scene file. Then load this file before the
actual shooting so that you can quickly recreate setup
conditions that are the same as those in rehearsal.
Items included in the scene file are marked with an “Sc”
in the “File” column on the menu list.
The reference file
In the reference file, the reference setting values used when
executing SCENE FILE STANDARD
saved. You can save one reference file in a “Memory
Stick”. If the reference file is not saved, the factory default
values are used as reference values.
Items included in the reference file are marked with an
“R” in the “File” column on the menu list.
The lens file
In the lens file, the setting data used to compensate for the
characteristics of lenses, such as flare, white shading, auto
iris gain, center marker position, and compensation value
of extender white, is saved. You can save up to 16 lens files
in the camcorder memory and up to 100 lens files in a
“Memory Stick”.
Items included in the lens file are marked with an “L” in
the “File” column on the menu list.
The DIAGNOSIS menu
This menu enables you to confirm the VTR status or
identify a failed circuit board.
