Title A-Cam".
5. To reset the camera to the default settings without losing the frame
lines or ARRI Look Files, load the "Reset" user setup.
User setups can be used to ensure that cameras on multi-camera
shoots have matching settings, or to transfer a show's setup onto daily
cameras, to ensure they carry the same shooting specifications. User
setups can also be created for regular speed and high speed modes,
eliminating the need to change settings individually after switching
modes. For example, to switch from regular speed mode to high speed
mode, the user can simply load the high-speed mode user setup that he
created, saving production time.
Note: You cannot switch between sensor modes by loading a user setup. To
switch sensor modes, go to the SENSOR menu or PROJECT menu.
