Changing Main Camera Functions with the FUNC. Button
You can adjust three main camera functions –shutter speed, white balance and ISO speed/gain– using the
FUNC. button (direct setting mode). In direct setting mode, you can change settings using the LCD screen/
viewfinder or using only the rear panel, which is convenient when the monitor unit is not attached to the
camcorder.
This section will explain the basic operation of the direct setting mode. For specific details about the functions
please refer to the each function’s section: shutter speed (A 58), white balance (A 66), ISO speed/gain
(A 61).
Using the Direct Setting Mode
1 Press the FUNC. button.
• On the screen: The onscreen display of the function to be adjusted
will be highlighted in orange.
On the rear panel: Only the icon (white balance) or value (ISO
speed, gain, shutter speed) of the function to be adjusted will be
displayed.
• Repeatedly pressing the FUNC. button will change the function to
be adjusted in the following order: White balance ISO speed/gain
Shutter speed Direct setting mode off.
2 Push the joystick up/down or turn the SELECT dial to select the
desired value (ISO speed, gain, shutter speed) or desired white balance mode and then press SET.
• The selected value will be set and the camcorder will exit the direct setting mode.
• On the screen: The onscreen display of the selected function will return to normal.
On the rear panel: The display will return to normal (all displays will reappear).
• Depending on the function selected, additional adjustment may be possible or necessary before pressing
SET.
NOTES
• The camcorder will automatically end the direct setting mode in the following cases.
- If no operation was performed for more than 6 seconds.
- If the aperture was adjusted or the ND filter setting was changed.
- If the menu, custom picture menu or a status screen was opened.
- If the control dial’s function is set to [ISO/Gain] and you operate the control dial while adjusting the white
balance or shutter speed in direct setting mode.
• If you set an assignable button to [FUNC.] (A 99), you can press that button instead of the FUNC. button to
enter the direct setting mode.
