As the name indicates, the functions contained under
this menu control various aspects of the viewfinder

the camera into a particular configuration. It also
contains controls which can be used to customize the
LCD and viewfinder displays and to assign particular
switches on the camera according to your preferences.

This menu allows function values to be stored in
scene files and recalled as required.
Diagnostic menu
The diagnostic menu is designed to provide information

Menu Install Features
User level
The user level function in the Install menu determines
what is displayed in the menus. For example, for user
level 4, the Top menu contains 6 Main menus.
However, for user level 1 the Top menu only shows
the VF/Lens and Install menus.
The purpose of the four user levels is to restrict the set
of functions which can be changed by whoever is
using the camera. In this way a more centralized and
uniform control can be achieved and the danger of the
camera operator accidentally changing critical
functions while shooting is reduced.
The division of the levels was decided using the
following criteria:
1. Video related functions blocked.
2. All video related functions that can be checked on
a black & white monitor can be controlled.
3. All video related functions that can be checked on
a colour monitor can be controlled.
4. All functions can be controlled.
The maximum user level set on the MCP, restricts the
number of user levels available on the camera.
Gain
The gain can be selected in four steps: -, 0, + and ++.
The actual value of the gain in dB can be assigned to
these symbols. This is done in the Install menu.
The "-" can be set to -6dB or -3dB.
The '0' is always 0dB.
The '+' can be set in steps of 3dB between 0dB and the
value of '++'.
The '++' can also be set in steps of 3dB between the
value of '+' and 30dB.
Note
The '+' and '++' steps can not have the same value.
Files
The files menu enables four different scene files to be
stored and recalled. If the message NOK is displayed
then the old values are restored. If the camera is
on-air when a scene file is recalled then the recalled
values do not become active until the camera switches
off-air.
