Changing Camera Settings with the Screen Buttons
There are three basic ways to change the various camera settings: Using the screens that appear on the
camera's control display and the screen buttons, using the camera menu displayed on the control display, and
30
using the monitoring menu displayed on monitoring devices along with the camera's image. The menus will be
explained in the following section (A 32). This section will explain the use of the control display screens and
screen buttons. When an optional OU-700 Remote Operation Unit is connected to the camera, using the
OU-700 is identical to using the camera's control display and buttons.
Unlike the menus, the function of the screen buttons changes dynamically depending on the button pressed on
the camera and the screen currently displayed on the control display. The current function of the screen buttons
is displayed in the gray area immediately above/below the screen button. If applicable, the current setting is
displayed within the white enclosure connected to it.
