Custom Functions
Camcorder operation can be further fine
tuned through the use of Custom Functions.
With a wide array of customisable options,
camera functions can be optimised to
maximise shooting efficiency and uniformity
of capture.
Custom Presets
Store up to 9 custom presets (sets of
custom image adjustments) for instant
access as needed. Custom presets can be
stored on memory cards (SD/SDHC or MMC)
– along with custom functions, display set-
tings and photos – and shared with other
Canon professional camcorders. This feature
can be used to ensure uniform camera setup
across multiple camcorders. The 3 custom
preset channels (CP7-CP9) are presets
designed by Canon and factory-loaded:
CP7 optimises images for viewing on
consumer-use TV monitors by minimising
noise in dark areas and improving contrast;
CP8 settings yield movie-like images when
viewed on TV; CP9 settings are ideal for
images that will be turned into film. Each
of these channels can be reset as desired.
