4-4 Editing the USER 
Menu
You can select desired pages and items from the 
OPERATION, PAINT, MAINTENANCE, NETWORK, 
FILE, and DIAGNOSIS menus and register them to the 
USER menu. If you specify pages or items frequently used

configure a USER menu that consists only of pages and 
items that you need, by your adding, deleting or replacing 
pages.
Creating a new page
The USER MENU CUSTOMIZE menu allows you to add 
a new page to the USER menu.

  Chapter 5   Storage and Retrieval of User Setting Data
Chapter
File Configuration
5
Storage and Retrieval of 
User Setting Data
5-1 File Configuration
This system permits various settings and adjustment data 
to be stored as data files in built-in memory or a “Memory 
Stick” in order to facilitate later operations or adjustments. 
A stored data file can be retrieved, as required, to 
reproduce the stored setting statuses.
In Cine mode, some file operations will be limited.
The following seven kinds of files are designed for the 
system:
Operator file
This file stores operational settings not related to picture 
quality. At shipment, the operator file with the default 
settings has been stored in built-in memory.
After the default settings are changed, those changed 
setting data can be stored as the operator file in a “Memory 
Stick” for later use.
For file operation, use the  page of 
the USER (OPERATION) menu or that of the FILE menu.
Items stored
The setting items in the OPERATION menu (page 68) and 
the customized USER menu (page 96) can be stored.
Lens files
Names of different lenses and standard values for these 
lenses can be registered in lens files in built-in memory of 
the camera. 
When you remount the lens after using another lens, the 
appropriate compensation for the lens can be achieved 
easily by reading the file corresponding to the lens.
Creation and modification of lens files are made in Custom 
mode.
Adjust necessary items, using the PAINT and 
MAINTENANCE menus or using the MSU-900/950 
Master Setup Unit, then store the adjustment data, using the  page of the FILE menu or using the 
MSU-900/950.
You can back up the lens files in a “Memory Stick.”
When using an ARRI LDS or Cooke /i system lens
When you mount the lens, the camera identifies it. If a lens 
file has been created once for the lens, the lens file is 
automatically recalled. If a new lens file is to be created as 
the lens is mounted for the first time, select one of the lens 
file numbers 1 to 32 and register the lens file with the lens 
mounted.
In Cine mode, only retrieval of lens files is possible. 
Modification of file data or file creation is not possible.
Items stored
The items that are stored in lens files are marked with “
a” 
in the “L” column of the table in “5-2 List of Items Stored 
in Files”.
Scene files
Scene files store data adjusted on the PAINT menu for 
specific scenes. 
For example, if you store data prepared in rehearsal for a 
particular scene in a scene file, the data can be retrieved to 
reproduce the same camera settings for the actual take.
For file operation, use the  page of the 
PAINT or FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950 
Master Setup Unit for the file operation.
Scene files are stored in built-in memory. You can also 
back up the scene files in a “Memory Stick.”
In Cine mode, scene file operation is disabled.
To use 32 scene files
Set 32 SCENE FILE to ON on the  page of 
the MAINTENANCE menu.
If you return 32 SCENE FILE” to OFF, all scene files No. 
6 to 32 are initialized when you next set it to ON. (Scene 
files No. 1 to 5 are maintained.)

							100File Configuration
  Chapter 5   Storage and Retrieval of User Setting Data
Items stored
The items that are stored in scene files are marked with 
“
a” in the “S” column of the table in “5-2 List of Items 
Stored in Files”.
Reference file
This file stores the standard settings of the camera that can 
be used as a reference when adjusting the camera.
If STANDARD is executed on the  page of 
the PAINT menu or the  page of the FILE 
menu, or with the MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit, 
manually adjusted values of the camera will be reset to the 
reference values that have been stored in the reference file.
At shipment, the reference file with the initial settings is 
stored in built-in memory.
The initial settings can be modified, as required, then 
stored as the new reference file.
For file operation, use the  page of the 
FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950 Master 
Setup Unit for file operation.
You can back up the reference file in a “Memory Stick.”
 In Cine mode, the reference file data are fixed as those at 
shipment and cannot be modified.
 As relative adjustment values with regard to the 
reference file data are stored in a scene file, if data of the 
reference file are modified, the scene files also need 
modification.
Items stored
The items that are stored in the reference file are marked 
with “
a” in the “R” column of the table in “5-2 List of 
Items Stored in Files”.
User-Gamma file
The gamma-curve data (User Gamma) created using 
CvpFileEditor application software can be loaded to the 
camera via a “Memory Stick.” This enables reproduction 
of images closer to those that individual users wish to 
reproduce.
For file operation, use the  page of the 
FILE menu.
The User-Gamma file is stored in built-in memory. Backup 
of the User-Gamma file in a “Memory Stick” is not 
possible.
In Cine mode, operation of the User-Gamma file via a 
“Memory Stick” is not possible.
User-MLUT file
The camera is equipped with four types of monitor LUTs 
(look-up tables) to apply the types of gamma to displayed images on monitors and viewfinder other than that of 
recorded images. 
In addition to these built-in data, user-defined look-up 
table data can be loaded to the camera via a “Memory 
Stick.”
For file operation, use the  page of the 
FILE menu.
A user MLUT file that can be loaded to this camera is a text 
file having the following configuration:

A line beginning with # is regarded as a comment.
If the line begins with the two continuous characters #$, it 
is not regarded as a comment but has a function to specify 
the subsequent gamma and monitor LUT names.

Specify the name of the main-line gamma to correspond to 
the MLUT file. The MLUT file can be selected only when 
the main-line gamma specified here is selected.
Then specify a MLUT name to be displayed on the setting  
menu page of the camera.
Format: #$”GAMMA NAME””MLUT NAME”
 This description is indispensable and must be on a single 
line.
 For GAMMA NAME, enter the name (max. 12 
alphanumeric characters) displayed next to the TABLE 
number on the  page of the USER (PAINT) 
menu. For a user gamma, enter the characters you 
specified as “Comment 1” for the gamma, using 
CvpFileEditor.
 For MLUT NAME, enter a monitor LUT name (max. 12 
alphanumeric characters) to be displayed on the MLUT 
SEL line on the  page of the USER 
(OPERATION) menu.
Example 1
When a gamma table named User Gamma A has been 
loaded as the user gamma, only User MLUT1 can be 
selected as the user MLUT with User Gamma A selected.
Example 2
When the S-Log A gamma of the SPECIAL or the USER 
category has been selected, you can select User MLUT1 as 
the user MLUT.
