Storage and Retrieval of
User Setting Data

5-1 File Configuration

This system permits various settings and adjustment data
to be stored as data files in built-in memory or a "Memory
Stick" in order to facilitate later operations or adjustments.
A stored data file can be retrieved, as required, to
reproduce the stored setting statuses.
Note
In Cine mode, some file operations will be limited.
The following six kinds of files are designed for the
system:
Operator file
This file stores operational settings not related to picture
quality. At shipment, the operator file with the default
settings has been stored in built-in memory.
After the default settings are changed, those changed
setting data can be stored as the operator file in a "Memory
Stick" for later use.
For file operation, use the <OPERATOR FILE> page of
the USER (OPERATION) menu or that of the FILE menu.
Items stored
The setting items in the OPERATION menu (page 55) and
the customized USER menu (page 75) can be stored.
Lens files
Names of 32 different lenses, their minimum f-stops, and
standard values for these lenses can be registered as lens
files in built-in memory of the camera. Files for lenses
equipped with the lens extender can contain two sets of
data for extender ON or OFF.
When you remount the lens after using another lens, the
appropriate compensation for the lens can be achieved
easily by reading the file corresponding to the lens.
For file retrieval, use the subdisplay or the <LENS FILE>
page of the USER (OPERATION) menu.
Creation and modification of lens files are made in Custom
mode.
