Chapter 4 - Menu navigation
4.1.1 User levels
Four user levels can be selected (0 .. 3) that restrict the set of functions which can be changed.
In this way, the danger of accidentally changing critical functions while shooting can be
reduced. User level 0 locks most of the operational controls and is not normally used for
operational purposes. The recommended minimum user level is 1. For full control, set the level
to 3.
If some menu items are dimmed (grey) they may be locked for the installed user level. Change
the user level in the SYSTEM/SECURITY/USER LEVEL menu.
4.2 Side panel display
The side panel display provides controls to access the user interface and camcorder menu
system. The panel can be rotated 270° around a hinged point. Rotation of more than 120°
around the horizontal axis results in a picture flip around horizontal axis. The best way to use
the side panel display for menu navigation is to set it back into the camcorder body recess with
the five push buttons at the bottom.
The side panel display allows direct interaction with menu controls shown on the screen. The
touch screen is designed to work with a finger or other soft objects. The screen is sensitive to
a single pressure location only, so only one touch surface control can be adjusted at a time.
Caution
Do not apply any sharp or rigid object (no pens or pencils) to the surface of the touch screen.
Use arrows of the navigation button to move around items on the touch screen. Push the
center of the button to activate the item.
