Custom Picture Settings
Custom Picture Settings
You can preset a number of picture-related settings (A 104). After changing individual settings to your
preference, you can save the whole set in the camcorder or SD card as a custom picture file. You can then load
the file at a later date to change the current settings to the preset levels you selected. You can even embed the
custom picture settings in clips recorded to a CF card or photos recorded to an SD card. Conversely, you can
have the camcorder record clips and photos without embedding custom picture settings.
You can save up to 9 different custom picture files on the camcorder and up to 20 custom picture files on an SD
card. Custom picture files can be copied between the camcorder and recording media.
Custom preset files created with previous Canon camcorders are not compatible with this camcorder. Custom
picture files created with this camcorder are compatible only with other C300 and C300 PL camcorders.
