but also characters and messages indicating the camcorder
settings and operating status, a center marker, a safety zone

top and bottom of the screen. Messages that give details of
the settings and adjustment progress and results can also be
made to appear for about 3 seconds while settings are
being changed, during adjustment, and after adjustment.
