Understanding the interface and controls
The Mavis Camera interface has been broken down into three levels of control.
The primary controls are always accessible when you are filming and can be changed while recording. These are controls you will use all the time and are always visible.
The secondary controls are accessible as a menu temporally overlaid on the main interface. These are controls that you will probably use to setup a shot and you may change them during filming. As with primary controls, secondary controls can be changed while you are recording.
Settings are accessed from the More menu. Within the various menus are controls that would normally be changed at the beginning of a filming session. Settings cannot be changed while recording.
Files are accessed from the More menu or via the Custom Function button. The files view can be used to playback, share and upload recordings.
