USER menu
This menu allows you to add any desired page

USER MENU CUSTOMIZE menu
This menu allows you to add pages to or delete

DIAGNOSIS, and ADVANCED menus as they
are in one menu.
OPERATION menu
This menu contains items for changing settings
according to conditions related to the subject
when the camcorder is being operated.
PAINT menu
This menu contains items for making detailed
image adjustments while using a waveform
monitor to monitor the waveforms output by the
camera. Support of a video engineer is usually
required to use this menu. Although you can also
use an external remote control unit to set the items
on this menu, this menu is effective when using
the camcorder by itself outdoors.
MAINTENANCE menu
This menu items for making settings for audio,
timecode, essence marks, and battery.
FILE menu
This menu is for saving the adjusted data in the
camcorder memory or in a "Memory Stick". The
following files can be saved.
User file
In the user file, the setting items and setting data
of the customized USER menu are saved. Once
you save the user file in a "Memory Stick", you
can easily set the USER menu to your preference
by loading the file.
For details on the user file, see "Saving and
Recalling User Files" on page 155.
ALL file
In the ALL file, the setting data of all of the
menus are saved.
Once a camcorder is set according to your
preferences and you save its ALL file in a
"Memory Stick", you can easily set other
camcorders to the settings of the camcorder that
you already set by loading the data from the
"Memory Stick".
Scene file
In the scene file, the setting values of PAINT
menu items adjusted to shoot a particular scene
are saved. You can save up to five scene files in
the camcorder memory and up to 100 scene files
in a "Memory Stick". For example, first adjust the
settings to shoot a particular scene at the rehearsal
and then save them as a scene file. Then load this
file before the actual shooting so that you can
quickly recreate setup conditions that are the
same as those in rehearsal.
Lens file
In the lens file, the setting data used to
compensate for the characteristics of lenses, such
as flare, white shading, and auto iris gain, is
saved. You can save up to 32 lens files in the
camcorder memory and up to 100 lens files in a
"Memory Stick".
