P-Menu Setup
The P-Menu is a customizable menu that allows quick access to commonly used
camera features.This is very useful underwater since controls such as White Balance
can only be accessed through the camera’s menu system.
The Bluefin HC3 uses a window mounted rotary control (P-Menu Selector) that
will allow access to the right column of buttons on the camera’s first page of the
P-Menu. Light & Motion has designed the control to provide access to Smooth
Slow Recording,Tele Macro and One Push White Balance.To use these controls
you will need to configure your camera’s P-menu to allow access to these
functions from the right column of the first P-menu screen that comes up when
the camera is in CAMERA-TAPE mode.
The following instructions show how to move these commands into the right
column of the first page of the P-Menu for CAMERA-TAPE mode.You may find it
useful to review the camera’s manual for a better understanding of how to
configure the P-Menu.
It may be possible to operate other P-Menu commands using the housing’s P-
Menu Selector. However, only the three functions listed above are supported by
Light & Motion.
