pattern , a safety zone marker, and a center marker,
camera settings may also be displayed on the
viewfinder screen using text and symbols. Further,
there are other indicators arranged above and below
the viewfinder, such as a tally lamp, battery warning
indicator, and an indicator to tell that one or more
settings are other than standard. This makes it simple
to check the status of the camera.

File System

The HDC-900/910 is able to store adjustment data in
memory in the form of files. There are three types of
files, for different purposes:
Reference file:
This file stores standard values for use in
automatic setup adjustment, as well as data on
standard switch settings.
Scene file:
This file stores painting data for specific scenes.
For example, values set for a particular scene
during rehearsal may be saved in a scene file.
Calling up the file during the real shooting puts
the camera in the exact same condition as it was in
rehearsal.
Lens file:
This file stores attributes for lenses used. The
camera is shipped from the factory with data
stored for standard lenses.
File creation, saving, and recall operations are
performed using an optional MSU-700A/750 Master
Setup Unit or RCP-700 series Remote Control Panel.
The type and number of files which may be used
differs with the device being used.
For more information, refer to the manuals for the Master
Setup Unit or Remote Control Panel.
