period. If the choice has additional options, it will be followed by two periods.
Pressing ENTER will show the page for this choice.
For example:
The PRESETS option has several choices available. INDOOR, OUTDOOR, and
NORMAL. (On occasion, it will also include CUSTOM in the list. This option
appears any time your current saved options differ from one of these three ‘quick
setups’) Press the Enter button to select the PRESETS option. Now the choices are
highlighted. Pressing the Left or Right button will flip through the choices. Since
all three options are followed by one period, pressing the Enter button on any of
these options will show the pre-defined settings for the option. There are no
choices to be made in this case, so pressing the enter button again will return to the
main menu.
Use the Down button to move to VIDEO. Press Enter to select the option and
highlight the choices. Now use the Right button to select either NTSC or PAL.
Notice that both choices have two periods. This indicates you have additional
choices for each setting. Select the appropriate video standard using the Enter key.
You will now be presented with a menu page with more choices appropriate for
your video standard. In both cases you will have a VIDEO LEVEL slider (see
MENU ITEMS below for more information), and a COLOR BAR option to test
the performance of your system.
Additional options
Any time a menu item is followed by two periods, it indicates that this option or
choice has a special menu page. For instance, the choice ATW Normal.. has a
settings page, as does ID SETUP..
Notice that MORE.. is followed by two periods, indicating that you will be
presented with a new page. The SmarTec MORE OPTIONS page gives you access
to many more special functions of the SmarTec camera and the revolutionary
PIXIM digital pixel system. These functions are organized by Exposure, Viewing,
Setup, and save/restore functions. Please take a few moments to become familiar
with all the available options.
Commands
Commands are always on the last row of the OSD page. Commands are generally
self explanatory. However, take caution of the following notes:
lCANCEL will immediately exit the menu, and return the camera state to the
last SAVE. If you make a change you do not like, you can undo it with cancel.
lHolding the Enter button on any menu option for 3 seconds will exit the menu,
keeping the current settings. This way you can experiment with the current
video settings. However, the settings are NOT saved to permanent memory
until you return to the menu (by holding enter for three seconds) and choose
