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.

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.

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. In
this case, the settings stored in the main data
block will be renewed when you change the
settings on the remote control unit. Thus, the

output. Rotational controls for which the data
corresponding to the amount of their rotation is output
are called relative value controls.
slide switches (except most momentary switches), the
switches (or knobs) whose positions must coincide
with their functions are called absolute value switches.
Remote control
data block
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.
