A. Introduction to this guide

This guide does not replace the user manual. It is intended

to be used in conjunction with the user manual and it is

recommended that you read both this guide and the user

manual to get the very best from the camera.

Where you see text in bold it indicates a menu setting,

button or switch setting. For example:

(MENU: Project – Base Setting – Shooting Mode).

Indicates: refer to the camera menu, Project page, Base

Setting page, Shooting mode sub page.

Where there are multiple menu choices a suggested or

recommended setting will be given as an initial starting

point to get you going. These settings should give good

results in the majority of cases.

B1. APR and Bright Pixels

After switching the camera on you may see a message

saying “Please Execute APR”. This is not an error or

malfunction. The APR (Automatic Pixel Restoration)

function minimizes the appearance of bright or dark

sensor pixels and minimizes sensor noise.

Cover/cap the lens so that all light is excluded and press

the Multi-function Dial, the handgrip thumbstick or the set

button to execute the APR function.

If you do not perform APR you will be reminded to

perform APR the next time the camera is turned on.

You should perform APR regularly to maintain the best

possible image quality or if you notice tiny bright dots

(bright pixels) within in the cameras output.

B2. Multi-Function Dial

The multi-function dial at the front of the camera is very

useful for navigating through the camera’s menus. In

addition, it can be used in conjunction with the push

buttons for ISO/Gain, White Balance, shutter, iris etc. to

quickly change these settings.

You can also set the Multi-Function dial to control some

of these functions directly without having to ﬁrst press a

button.

If you go to (MENU: Project – Multi Function Dial –

Default Function) you can add a default function for the

dial for when the camera menu is not activated or when

a function button has not been previously pressed. My

personal preference is to set this to “Iris”. Do note however

that control of the iris via the Multi-Function Dial is in 1/3rd

of a stop steps. Iris control is possible via the Assignable

Dial on the handgrip.

B3. Assignable Buttons

The FX9 has 10 assignable buttons plus the ability to

assign an alternate function to the focus hold button that

is found on certain Sony lenses. By default, nothing is

assigned to buttons 2, 3, 6. 7, 8, 9 and 10. So there is plenty

of scope to add new functions to these buttons.

Functions are assigned to the buttons via

(MENU: Project – Assignable Button).

A suggestion is to assign the “Base ISO /Sensitivity”

and “Video Signal Monitor” options to two of the

buttons as these will likely be commonly used

functions. In addition, if you shoot using S-Log3 you

may want to assign “Gamma Display Assist” to another

of the assignable buttons (see section 6 for more

details on this).

B4. User Menu

The FX9 has a user menu that can be customized to

include the menu items that you use most often. This

allows you to go directly to the items in the user menu

with no need to scroll through the menu systems dierent

sub sections.

Up to 20 items can be included in the user menu. The

factory settings include 20 pre-installed items. In order to

add or change an item you must ﬁrst delete at least 1 item

from the user menu before the new item can be added.

The user menu can be edited by going to (MENU: User

Menu – Edit User Menu). As well as adding and removing

items from the User Menu you can also change the

display order by using the “Move” option to move each

item up or down the item list.

In addition, it is also possible set the camera so that only

the User Menu is active. This is done via (MENU: User

Menu – Menu Settings –User Menu Only). When set

to “ON” you can only access and scroll through the user

menu. To restore the ability to scroll down to other the

other menu sections you can return this back to “OFF” at

any time.

B. Initial camera setup

There is an additional password protected method for

locking out all menu pages other than the User Menu. To

enable this normally hidden option in the menu system

you must press and hold the Multi-Function Dial, then

while still pressing the Multifunction Dial press the Menu

button to enter the cameras menu system. Now you will

ﬁnd the following menu item (MENU: Technical – Menu

settings– User Menu With Lock). When you select “ON”

you will be prompted to enter a 4 digit security code to

enable the User Menu only locked function.

WARNING: Be sure to make a record of this security

code as it is required to unlock the full menu system.

You cannot unlock the menu system if you lose this

code number and will need to contact your local Sony

oce for assistance.

To unlock the full menu system, press and hold the Multi-

Function Dial, then while still pressing the Multifunction

Dial press the Menu button to enter the cameras menu

system. Then go to (MENU: Technical – Menu settings–

User Menu With Lock). Select OFF and enter the

passcode.
