Camera and Picture Control Recording onto the Hard Disk Playback the Recorded Files

This is how to transfer the Custom Preset file to other camcorders using a card to make clone 
camcorders.

The Custom Preset files created by XL2 and XL H1 are mutually compatible and the files 
created by XH G1 and XH A1 are mutually compatible as well. However, files created by XL2/
XL H1 are not compatible to XH G1/XH A1 and vice versa.

[Preparations]
Insert the card to the camcorder that is set to the EXT.CONT. mode. Connect the camcorder to the 
computer and install the AV/C Camera Storage Subunit-WIA driver (

1-7). If you already installed 

the driver, you do not need to re-install it.

For details about the steps 3 to 6, refer to “Inserting/Removing a Memory Card” and “Using the 
Custom Preset

”

 on the camcorder instruction manual.

If you disconnect the cable before exporting the Custom Preset file and change the 
mode, the camcorder settings will be adjusted to the previous settings.

When you cannot save on the card, export the Custom Preset file to the hard disk, 
change the connected camcorder to the next one, import the exported file to the second 
camcorder, and save the file on the camcorder. Installation of the AV/C Camera Storage 
Subunit-WIA driver may be needed for the second camcorder.
