Structure of the paint adjustment data

The non-volatile memory of the camcorder used for storing paint adjustment data consists of two regions as shown below: one is the “main data block” that is used when a remote control unit is not connected, and the other is the “remote control data block” that is used when a remote control unit is connected. Paint adjustment data is automatically selected and output to the camera section depending on whether or not a remote control unit such as the RM-B150 is connected.

Function of the recording start/stop buttons when the RM-B150/B750 is connected

When the RM-B150/B750 is connected, you can make a setting to determine which of the recording start/stop buttons you will use. This setting is made using MAINTENANCE >Camera Config >RM Rec Start in the setup menu.

When a remote control unit is connected to the camcorder, the “remote control data block” is selected as the current paint data block, and the paint adjustment parameters that were in effect the last time the remote control unit was used are recalled. The settings of the absolute value rotational

controls overwritten by those on the remote control unit after the remote control unit is connected. When the remote control unit is disconnected from the camcorder, the “main data block” becomes effective. Thus the camcorder will return to the settings that were in effect before the remote control unit was connected.

1) Absolute value rotational controls: The data

2) Absolute value switches: Like toggle switches or

When MAINTENANCE >Camera Config >RM Common Memory is set to [On] in the setup menu, you can use settings of the paint adjustment data stored in the main data block even if you connect the remote control unit.

settings on the remote control unit. Thus, the settings of the paint data made with the remote control unit can be retained even if the remote control unit is removed. However, if the switch position on the remote control unit differs from the one on the camcorder, the switch position on the camcorder takes precedence over that on the remote control unit. Also, it is possible to keep the settings that are in effect before you connect the remote control unit. In this case, you should set the control knob to the relative value mode on the remote control unit.

For details, refer to the Operation Manual supplied with the remote control unit.
