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

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.

Making a Wi-Fi Connection
Two types of Wi-Fi connections are available. In
“ad-hoc mode”, you can make a peer-to-peer WiFi connection between a computer and
camcorder. In “infrastructure mode”, you can
make Wi-Fi connections between a computer and
multiple camcorders via a wireless LAN access
point (building a LAN).
a) The IP address determined by DHCP server is
displayed here.
When you have changed a setting
Set the Set item to [Execute]. When a
confirmation message appears, turn the MENU
knob to select “Execute” and press the knob.
To make a connection in ad hoc mode
1 Refer to “Settings on the Computer”
under “Making a Wi-Fi Connection to
Your Computer (Ad hoc Mode)” in the
Operating Instructions supplied with
the CBK-WA01 to make settings on the
computer.
2 Start a connection on the computer.
3 Set MAINTENANCE >Wi-Fi Setting
>Wi-Fi to [Enable] in the setup menu.
