7 Sort an item on the P-MENU The instructions below will use the X. V. Color control as an example of how to sort an item on the P-MENU. X. V. COLOR is an emerging standard that expands the color range used during capture and display of moving images.
8 Add an item to the P-MENU Some items that are useful during underwater photography are not on the P-MENU in its factory condition. But these items can be moved to the P-MENU to allow access to them in the Bluefin HC7. ZEBRA will be used as an example of how to add an item to the P-MENU.
