Using the Customized Functions
You can customize to your personal preferences many aspects of the operation of the camcorder, most
of them governing how the camcorder operates in
mode. You can adjust up to 3 different custom
function files and save them on the camcorder or to a memory card. By just reading the custom function
file saved on the memory card with another XH G1/XH A1, you will instantly get a camcorder configured
to operate in the same familiar manner you prefer.
Changing the Custom Function Settings
1. Open the menu, select [CUSTOMIZE] and then select the [CUSTOM FUNCTION]
submenu.
The custom function editing screen appears.
2. From the column on the left, select one of the 3 custom function files [C.Fn1] -
[C.Fn3].
The current settings of the selected custom function file will be shown in the custom function item list.
The cursor will move to the bottom bar of the custom function editing screen. To return one level back to
the options on the column on the left, select [
RETURN] and press the SELECT/SET dial.
3. From the bottom bar, select [ TUNE].
The first item in the list will be highlighted in blue.
4. From the list, select an item you want to adjust and press the SELECT/SET dial. Make
the selection as necessary and press the SELECT/SET dial.
Repeat this step to adjust all the items you want to adjust.
5. When you finish adjusting all the items in the custom function file, select
[ RETURN], press the SELECT/SET dial and close the menu.
The custom function items appear in one screen represented only by the item number on the top
(numbers 00 - 20 with a black background), and the code of the current setting immediately under it.
