Using the Samurai Blade
The Samurai Blade is controlled via an intuitive touchscreen interface. Icons and buttons have been designed and laid out in a specific way to ensure
operation is simple and fast.
The HOME SCREEN displays all necessary technical and functional information. Everything important for operation and adjustment is no more than
one touch away. Here is how it works:
Category 1 – Operating Settings
This list of real-time operating settings can be adjusted or toggled WHEN a BLUE ARROW is present. If the Blue arrow is disabled, the setting
cannot be adjusted.
Category 2 – Shot Setup & Monitor Assist Tools
This list represents the icons and functions available for Shot Setup and Monitor Assist Tools:
Touch these icons to reveal more functional options in a sub-category. Touch the sub category icons to toggle the functions on or off. When a Shot
Setup or Monitor Assist function is active, touch the settings icon (as seen below) to reveal detailed settings for each Shot Setup tool. Touch the Home
icon (as seen below) to go back to the Home Screen at any time.
Category 3 – Main Controls REC, PLAY & MENU
The Main Controls of the unit are indicated by large round icons.
Touching the center of the screen at any time removes all overlays except any active Shot Setup or Monitor assist functions
that are enabled. This is to allow you to use the Shot Setup and Monitor assist functions at all times while shooting.
