Working with Lists and Importing Files

For certain parameters, the camera menu operates with preset lists that come with a default content
and that can be adjusted to the user's preference. You can add values to and delete values from these
lists, so that only project relevant values are displayed. Value based lists contain entries that can be
edited directly in the camera (e.g. Shutter and White Balance presets) while file based lists contain files
that are installed on the camera or were imported from the USB medium (e.g. Looks and Frame Lines)
Adding Entries to Value based Lists
The camera offers two methods of input when adding entries to a list. The numeric keyboard is
intended to be used for direct input of a value while the jogwheel mode is intended to be used for
fine tuning a value (for example to fine adjust the shutter when filming monitors). The minimum and
maximum possible values are shown in the middle of the screen above the horizontal line.
► Select e.g. HOME > FPS > ADD.
► Use the jogwheel to select and enter charac-
ters.
► The CLEAR button (4) deletes the digit to the
left of the cursor. Press and hold the button to
clear the entire value.
► The aA# button (2) toggles between lower
case, upper case and numeric text entry.
► Press the SET button (3) to save the file, or
the CANCEL button (1) to exit.
► Press the MODE button (2) to switch be-
tween the numeric keyboard and the jog-
wheel mode.
► The numeric keyboard offers to directly en-
ter a value. Use the MVF-2 jogwheel to se-
lect and confirm digits.
► The CLEAR button (4) deletes the digit to
the left of the cursor. Press and hold the
button to clear the entire value.
► The jogwheel mode allows to fine adjust
values. Rotate the MVF-2 jogwheel to fine
tune the value.

switch back to the numeric keyboard.
