Setup Files
You can use setup files to reproduce a particular
configuration of settings. You can also revise the
contents of setup files.
There are eight types of setup files, of which five are
factory preset setup files and the other three are user
files.
Note on using an RM-M7G Remote Control Unit
When an RM-M7G is connected to the camcorder, the
setup file function cannot be used.
To make it possible to use this function, power OFF
the camcorder after disconnecting the RM-M7G, then
power ON the camcorder again.
