SD

When an SD card is inserted, Scene File 1 button enables access to
the SD OSD menu. Previously stored scene files may be retrieved
or the currently applied scene file saved to SD.

Before using an SD card for the first time please see the
specifications section to ensure compatibility. Additionally, the SD
card must first be formatted on a PC to create a FAT16 Master Boot
Record. The SD card can then be formatted in the unit by
selecting the 'Format Card' option.

When selecting a scene file to be saved, the filename will change
to indicate the one selected. In the example above Scene File 4
has been selected for saving. The filename can be edited using
the Change Description option before saving.

When retrieving the scene file using the load option, the scene file
is loaded into the scene file 1 position. To transfer these settings
to another scene file, exit the SD Menu and save to one of the
other available locations, e.g. Scene File 2.

22. KNEE

Adjust the camera knee characteristic.

22A. Preset

Sets the camera preset knee value.

22B. Auto

Selects the camera auto knee function.

23. BLACK STRETCH

Adjusts the picture in the black region allowing more picture
content to be seen.

24. IRIS AUTO

Sets camera auto iris mode. Most cameras automatically adjust iris
to the correct level and allow small adjustment of this level via the
joystick 'IRIS' or variable controls.

25. MODE

When MODE is off, camera iris and pedestal values are updated
immediately when switching between variable IRIS, joystick IRIS
and when selecting different scene files. When MODE is on,
joystick IRIS and PED adjustments pick up control only when the
current camera values have been reached with the controls. This
prevents potentially large changes occurring after switching and
when not desired (e.g. live on air).

The IRIS and PED leds only illuminate when the controls are
active.

Other MODE settings are also reserved for future functions.

ALTERNATE FUNCTION

Rec: VTR mode Record if media is present in camcorder.
