This unit supports two operation modes: Cine
Mode and Custom mode. Cine modes allow you
to use the unit like a film camera, on the
assumption that the video will undergo post-
production processing to achieve a specific look.
Custom mode allows you to access all settings on
site, so that you can achieve the look you want as
you shoot.
You can control the camera either from the
Camera menu or a remote control unit, but the
items you can set and the values they can take
depend on whether you are shooting in Cine
Mode or Custom mode.
Cine mode (default mode)
This mode is intended that the most commonly
used operations are available in the subdisplay
and the USER menus of the Camera menu.
• The menu configuration is simple, with most
items relating to the basic “look” of the video
fixed as factory defaults.
• The only active auto setup item is auto black
balance (ABB).
• The white balance level is fixed at the preset
value (3200K), and auto white balance (AWB)
and WHITE R/G/B settings are not operative.
• When you are controlling the unit from a remote
control unit connected to the REMOTE
connector, items with numeric settings that are
fixed in Cine mode do not appear on the remote
control unit. Items with ON/OFF settings and
selectable items do appear, even when their
settings are fixed.
• The only file that can be read from or written to
“Memory Stick” media is the operator file in the
USER menu, and the only file data that can be
reset to factory defaults is the data in that file.
• The only operation that can be carried out with
lens files is loading a lens file by specifying its
number.
• The reference file items are fixed to the default
values set at the factory even if you have
changed the values in Custom mode.
Custom mode
This mode is intended for users who want to make
detailed menu settings, or who want to operate
from a remote control unit.
• You can save and load reference files, which
store adjustment reference values, and scene
files, which store adjustment values specific to
particular scenes.
• You can load user gamma tables.
• You can adjust and save lens files.
Note
The settings for file items adjusted in Custom mode are
maintained when the camera is switched back to Cine
mode. However, video adjustment values that are
changed temporarily and not stored in any file are
cleared upon mode switching.
For details on the items and values that can be set in
each mode, see “Camera Menu List” (page 117).
Cine mode is selected when the unit is shipped
from the factory.
To switch to Custom modes
Referring to the procedure described in “Setting
the Built-in Clock”
, display the <BASE
SETTING> page of the Camera >
MAINTENANCE menu on the subdisplay,
viewfinder screen, or monitor screen and use that
page to switch to Custom mode.
