simultaneously will reset the Guide Point to the center of the available range.
16. When the Guide Point is changed using the optional RGPC-40, the Guide Point setting
is displayed on Line 4 of the LCD Panel and flashes until it is stored. The new setting is
automatically stored 20 seconds after the last button is pressed on the RGPC-40. If the
operating mode is changed before the 20 seconds has elapsed, the new setting is
stored. If the power to the unit is interrupted before the 20 seconds has elapsed, the new
setting is discarded.
