Custom Picture Settings
You can preset a number of picture-related settings (A 93). You can change each individual setting for
maximum control or use a more intuitive graphical interface to adjust the gamma curve and white balance shift
(A 98). After adjusting the desired settings to your preference, you can save the whole set in the camcorder or
SD card as a custom picture file. You can then load the file at a later date to change the current settings to the
preset levels you selected. You can even use the [w Other Functions] > [Photos] > [Add / File] setting to
embed the custom picture settings in photos recorded to an SD card.
You can save up to 9 different custom picture files on the camcorder and up to 20 custom picture files on an SD
card. Custom picture files can be copied between the camcorder and SD card.
Custom picture files created with previous Canon camcorders are not compatible with this camcorder. Custom
picture files created with this camcorder are compatible only with other C100 camcorders.
