Basic Menu Operations - Sony MSW-970 Operation Manual

• 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 panel or master
setup unit to set the items on this menu, this menu is
effective when using the camcorder by itself outdoors.
• MAINTENANCE menu
This menu contains items for performing camera
maintenance operations, such as changing the system or
using infrequently used "paint" items.
• FILE menu
This menu is for performing file operations, such as
writing the reference file.
• DIAGNOSIS menu
This menu enables you to confirm the VTR status or
identify a failed circuit board.
Returning to the TOP menu from other
menus
There are two methods.
b
• Align the mark with "TOP" at the top right of the
menu page, and press the MENU knob.
• Push the CANCEL/PRST / ESCAPE switch down to the
ESCAPE position repeatedly until the TOP menu
appears.
