7 Saving and Loading User Setting Data
Chapter
Saving and Loading
Settings
You can save setup menu settings in the
camcorder's internal memory and on SD cards.
This allows you to quickly recall an appropriate
set of menu settings for the current situation.
Setting data is saved in the following categories.
User Menu Item files: User menu item files save
the items in the User menu. You can save up
to 64 user menu item files on an SD card.
ALL files: ALL files save the setting data of all
menus. You can save up to 64 ALL files on
an SD card.
Note
Device specific data (shading, output levels, and
other data that requires adjustment for the specific
device) is not saved.
Scene files: Scene files save adjustments to Paint
menu items for the purpose of shooting a
particular scene. You can save up to five
scene files in the camcorder's internal
memory and up to 64 scene files on an SD
card.
Lens files: Lens files save the setting data used to
compensate for lens characteristics, such as
flare, white shading, white balance and
center markers. You can save up to 32 lens
files in the camcorder's internal memory and
up to 64 lens files on an SD card.
Gamma files: You can save up to five user-
defined gamma table data files in internal
memory.
The first settings stored in a file are called "preset
values."
Even after loading files to set up the camcorder,
and overwriting original files with new settings,
you can still recover preset values and reset files
to their initial states (see page 146).
