4-8 Status Display on the
Viewfinder Screen
The viewfinder screen displays not only the video picture but also
characters and messages indicating the camcorder settings and operating
status, a center marker, a safety zone marker, etc.
When the MENU ON/OFF/PAGE switch is set to OFF, and the
viewfinder DISPLAY switch is set to ON, the items for which an “ON”
setting was made in the VF DISPLAY page of the setup menu or with
related switches are displayed at the top and bottom of the screen. The
messages that give details of the settings and adjustment progress and
results can also be made to appear for about 3 seconds while settings are
being changed, during adjustment, and after adjustment.
For information about the display item selection, see Section 4-8-2 “Selecting the
Display Items” (page 4-55); for information about setting change and adjustment
progress messages, see Section 4-8-3 “Display Mode and Setting Change and
Adjustment Progress Messages” (page 4-58); and for information about marker
display, see Section 4-8-4 “Setting the Marker Display” (page 4-61).
When the setup menu is displayed using the MENU ON/OFF/PAGE
switch, no superimposed information on the camera settings (e.g. white
balance) appears on the viewfinder screen.
