Before we move any further, I want o show you where the menu button is and some of the
menu options on your XH A1. There's a lot of advanced options in the menus, which we're
not really going to go over right now, but I just want to let you know how to get to
the menu and the some basic navigation of the menu. The menu button is right here, in
pretty much the bottom corner or your camcorder, right there. If you push it, we go into the
menu. And, navigating the menu is right here on this little wheel right here which goes
up and down. It's not really a wheel because it just goes down, and then up. It's also
a button, so if you push it, that's how you select something on the menu. Let me show
you the menu up here. Alright! So, you can see this is our basic menu page, you've got
a lot of options here, some of which we'll be going into later. Just push the little
wheel down, we go up and down, and if I actually wanted to choose something, I'd push that
wheel in and I go into there. And then from here, it depends on what menu you're at, but
if you push again, you'll go into your little setting and you can set it on or off, or whatever,
and usually there'll be a return down here. To get out of the menu, typically, all you
have to do is hit menu again and that will get you out of your menu. If you ever used
a camcorder before, this should be pretty familiar. Pretty much every camera I've ever
worked with uses this basic setup. That's just a little bit about getting into your
menu and throughout the rest of this series we'll be going into some of these more important
menu options but, just want to let you know how to navigate it first.
