Paint Menu
Picture control. ‘The look’. Detail, Gamma, Knee etc. are all adjusted in this menu. Also has
access to scene files to store and recall different ‘looks’.
•
Maintenance Menu
Format switching (25P/50i ) is here, plus more obscure technical stuff. Includes the things that
used to be in the menu accessed via the button on the timecode panel on digital betacam
camcorders.
•
File Menu
Save, load, store and recall all the different file types. (You can also access some files from
within each individual menu. For instance you can load a lens file from within the operation
menu, or from within the file menu…it’s the same result.)
•
Diagnostics
In the unlikely event of a problem! This menu can help isolate a fault to a particular board. Also
tells you software versions of the various boards in the camera, and drum running and operation
hours.
•
(Service Menu)
Not normally accessible. You need to set internal switches to gain access to this menu.

Stored information about groups of adjustable items
•
User
Holds whatever values have been allocated to the user menu.
•
User Preset
The user file can be stored as a default setting, by moving it from the user layer to the preset
layer. See layers below.
•
Scene
Mostly items from the paint menu. Use this as a sort of ‘scratchpad’ for holding picture set-ups.
•
Reference
Stored separately to the other files, this is only accessed during an ‘auto level’ operation. Auto
level is a function normally associated with systems cameras, and is only accessible from RCPs
designed for this kind of work, so is not really relevant to the ‘750. During auto level the camera
reads the reference file, and copies the items held in it to the preset layer of the camera.
•
All
Overwrites all the user and preset layers, except for items held in the lens file. This is the one to
use for matching cameras.
•
Lens
Shading, flare and colourimetry info specific to the lens or camera.

Where the files are stored
•
User
This layer is added to the preset, service and factory layers to produce the final output of the
camera. Any values you tweak via the menu are changed in this layer, and if you recall a file you
will see the results here.
