This powers the camera on and off. There are two
different ON settings as follows.

state, pressing the VTR button on the camera

pressing the VTR button.
Note
The VTR state when this switch is in the ON STBY or
ON SAVE position may depend on the VTR model.

assigned to the H, M and L settings from values from
–3 dB to +36 dB. (See page 60.) The factory default
