This part indicates the version of Automatic Adjustment Pro-
gram.

The HDR-UX3E/UX5/UX5E/UX7/UX7E are adjusted by the Au-
tomatic Adjustment Program. The Automatic Adjustment Program
enters automatically via the SeusEX the adjustment operations that
were formerly entered manually by the adjustment remote com-
mander (some items may be adjusted by manual operation on the
operation screen of the SeusEX).

1) The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment re-

sults such as EVR data to the set through two-way communi-
cation with the camcorder via the SeusEX. Accordingly, the
Automatic Adjustment Program must be used in the environ-
ment where the SeusEX operates.

2) The Automatic Adjustment Program cannot be used when the

SEUS or the SeusCam is running. Exit the SEUS or the
SeusCam before using the Automatic Adjustment Program.

3) The SeusEX must be already started on the PC when using the

Automatic Adjustment Program. With the SeusEX not started,
some adjustment items will take time in adjustment.

4) The program run time may vary depending on the environ-

ment of the personal computer used.

Double-click the application file (HDR-UX5 Series Auto-Adj
Ver_1.6r06.exe), and the Automatic Adjustment Program will start.
