File Configuration - Sony F35 Operation Manual

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-EI mode and Cine mode, some file operations will
be limited.
The following seven 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 70) and
the customized USER menu (page 101) can be stored.
Lens files
Names of different lenses and standard values for these
lenses can be registered in lens files in built-in memory of
the camera.
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.
Creation and modification of lens files are made in Custom
mode.
Adjust necessary items, using the PAINT and
MAINTENANCE menus or using the MSU-900/950

Master Setup Unit, then store the adjustment data, using
the <LENS FILE> page of the FILE menu or using the
MSU-900/950.
You can back up the lens files in a "Memory Stick."
When using an ARRI LDS or Cooke /i system lens
When you mount the lens, the camera identifies it. If a lens
file has been created once for the lens, the lens file is
automatically recalled. If a new lens file is to be created as
the lens is mounted for the first time, select one of the lens
file numbers 1 to 32 and register the lens file with the lens
mounted.
Note
In Cine-EI mode and Cine mode, only retrieval of lens files
is possible. Modification of file data or file creation is not
possible.
Items stored
The items that are stored in lens files are marked with "
in the "L" column of the table in "5-2 List of Items Stored
in Files".
Scene files
Scene files store data adjusted on the PAINT menu for
specific scenes.
For example, if you store data prepared in rehearsal for a
particular scene in a scene file, the data can be retrieved to
reproduce the same camera settings for the actual take.
For file operation, use the <SCENE FILE> page of the
PAINT or FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950
Master Setup Unit for the file operation.
Scene files are stored in built-in memory. You can also
back up the scene files in a "Memory Stick."
Note
In Cine-EI mode and Cine mode, scene file operation is
disabled.
To use 32 scene files
Set 32 SCENE FILE to ON on the <OTHERS 2> page of
the MAINTENANCE menu.
