Quick Reference Guide to the Canon HG-10

UB Media Lab

1. HDD Operations

From this submenu you can see how much 
space is being used on the hard disk and how 
much is available. You can 

initialize (Erase)

 

the camera’s drive. If you do this it will erase all 
footage on the camera – 

So BE CAREFUL!

 

(You don’t need to initialize the drive, the 
Media Lab will take care of that for you.)

• 

ALWAYS LEAVE THE DROP SENSOR 

  ON! 

(It is the camera’s safety feature and 

   needs to be on all the time.)

2. Display Setup (Ignore this menu)

3. SYSTEM SETUP 

The only features that you need to be concerned 
with in this sub-menu is 

SPEAKER VOLUME

 

and 

AV/PHONES

.

SPEAKER VOL.

Press SET to change the volume. A large vol-
ume bar will appear. Press the right and left ar-
rows to raise or lower the camera’s volume. 

This 

volume is the playback and/or headphone 
volume, not the recording volume.

AV/PHONES 

This allows you to switch between 

AV

 output 

(TV) and 

Phones

 output (Headphones). Make 

sure this is set to 

PHONES

 so you can monitor 

your recording. 

If you hear a buzzing sound 

when you plug in headphones, that means 
the port is set to 

AV

 and you need to go into 

the menu and change it to 

PHONES

.

4. Date/Time Setup (Ignore this menu)

5. Close
Press “SET” to exit the MENU.

You can also press the “FUNC.” button to 
exit and return to the playback screen.
