Custom Preset Settings

You can select preset level for a number of picture-related parameters (23 parameters when recording 
movies, 17 when recording still images). A list of the parameters is given in the following table and you 
can find more detailed descriptions on page 92. After changing individual parameters to your 
preference, you can save the whole set as a custom preset file. You can also embed the data of the 
custom preset parameters currently in use within a still image recorded on the memory card.

Up to 9 different custom preset files can be saved on the camcorder* and up to 20 custom preset files 
can be saved on a memory card. Custom preset files can be copied between the camcorder and 
memory card. 

Custom preset files saved with a Canon XL H1S, XL H1A, XH G1 or XH A1 can be used with this 
camcorder. Custom preset files saved with this camcorder can be used on a Canon XL H1S, XL H1A, 
XH G1 or XH A1.
