Saving and Loading Camera Settings

Solution

 

After you adjust custom picture settings and settings in the various menus, you can save those settings on an SD card. You can load those settings at a later date or on another C300 or C300 PL camcorder so that you can use that camcorder in that same exact way.

Saving Camera Settings to an SD Card

1 Open the [] submenu.

[Other Functions] > [Transfer Menu//] > [ ]

2 Select [Menu] or [Menu+/] and then press SET.

  • Selecting [Menu] will save menu settings and [Menu+/] will save menu and custom picture settings.

3 Select [OK] and press SET.

  • The current settings are saved to the SD card. If the SD card already has camera settings on it, they will be overwritten.

4 When the confirmation screen appears, press SET.

 

Loading Camera Settings from an SD Card

1 Open the [] submenu.

[Other Functions] > [Transfer Menu//] > [ ]

2 Select [Menu] or [Menu+CP] and then press SET.

  • Selecting [Menu] will load menu settings and [Menu+CP] will load menu and custom picture settings.

3 Select [OK] and press SET.

  • After the camcorder’s current settings are replaced with the settings saved on the SD card, the screen will turn black momentarily and the camcorder will restart.

NOTES

  • The SD card includes a text file that lists the camera settings. You can check the settings by using a USB card reader to access the SD card on a computer. In the “PRIVATE\CAMSET” folder, open the file “CAMSET3.TXT”.
  • When loading camera settings from an SD card, even protected custom picture files in the camcorder will be replaced.
  • For your protection, when the camcorder’s settings are saved on an SD card, the following settings under [Other Functions] > [Wi-Fi] are not saved: the encryption key/WEP index key in the wireless LAN setup of each of the configuration files [No. 1] to [No. 5] and the password in the camcorder settings.
  • Camera settings from Canon XF100 / XF105 / XF300 and XF305 camcorders cannot be used with this camcorder.
