Selecting from the Camera & VCR Menus
Many of the camera’s advanced functions are selected from menus which appear
in the display.
There are three main menus:
1. Camera menu (when the camera is in record pause mode: the
POWER switch set to
[
or
P
(p. 13) and the LENS COVER
switch set to OPEN).
2. VCR menu (when the POWER switch is set to VCR and the LENS
COVER switch set to OPEN).
3. Program Menu (in record pause mode with the POWER switch set
to
P
and the LENS COVER switch set to CLOSE).
• The main purpose of this menu is to select the recording program. For an
explanation of how to use this menu, see page 36.
