Data structure of image quality
adjustment data
The non-volatile memory of the camcorder used
for storing camera image quality adjustment data
(paint data) consists of two regions as shown
below: a "main data block" that is used when a
remote control unit is not connected, and a
"remote control data block" that is used when a
remote control unit is connected. Paint
adjustment data is automatically selected and
output to the camera section depending on
whether or not a remote control unit, such as the
RM-B170, is connected.

When a remote control unit is connected, the
"remote control data block" is selected as the
current paint data block, and the paint adjustment
parameters that were in effect the last time the
remote control unit was used are recalled.
However, when the settings of absolute value
1)
controls and absolute value switches
on the remote control unit, the settings on the
remote control unit override the settings on the
camcorder.
When the remote control unit is disconnected
from the camcorder, the "main data block" is re-
enabled, and the camcorder returns to the settings
that were in effect before the remote control unit
was connected.
