Adjusting the Camera
To recall a preset
1
Press one of the letter buttons (A to F) on the Remote
Commander.
The camera is automatically adjusted by the preset under
the selected letter.
On backup
The memories of the preset are erased when the POWER
switch on the Compact Processor is set to off. To retain those
memories, set the BACKUP switch at the rear of the camera to
ON.
Notes
• In the camera, the built-in lithium battery acts as the power
source for retaining the memories and is kept charged as long
as the system is used. If the system is used for shorter period
of time with the BACKUP switch set to ON, however, the
battery is gradually discharged. Besides if you do not use the
system at all for almost 12 weeks, the battery is completely
discharged. To retain the memories of the settings, you should
recharge the battery.
• To recharge the battery, connect the camera to the Compact
Processor and leave it for approximate 48 hours with the
POWER switch set to on.
