Viewfinder Basic Menu
To display the basic menu pages, press the MENU/
STATUS switch downward while the normal
indications are being shown in the viewfinder. The
basic menu configuration can include up to eight pages
(the configuration depends on the switch settings and
the type of connected VTR).
Basic Menu Operations
The common operations on all basic menu pages are
described below.
To change the page or item
The cursor is moved downward each time you press
the MENU/STATUS switch down. Once the cursor
has reached the last item on a page, press down the
MENU/STATUS switch to go to the next page. When
the last page is being displayed, pressing down the
MENU/STATUS switch returns the display to the
normal indications.
The cursor is moved upward each time you press up
the MENU/STATUS switch. Once the cursor has
reached the first item on a page, pressing up the
MENU/STATUS switch returns the display to the
normal indications.
To change settings
After using the MENU/STATUS switch to move the
cursor to the item on which you will change the
setting, press either the UP/ON button or the DOWN/
OFF button to select the desired value.
To reset any item to its shipped settings, press the UP/
ON button and the DOWN/OFF button at the same
time.
