Entering the Marking Mode
e Pointmaker is in the marking mode by default. e only time it is not in
marking mode is when a menu is displayed. In the Marking mode, the image from
the video source is displayed along with any stored markers. An active pointer is
also displayed, unless it was disabled during setup(see Pointer Toggle, on page 38).
Pointing
You can move the pointer around the screen, using it to direct the viewer’s
attention without anchoring it. You can also position and anchor several point ers
on the overlay, giving you the opportunity to point in a more lasting man ner on
several areas of the image.
Before using or anchoring a pointer, you may want to select a new pointer type (see
Selecting Pointers, on page 74). Or you may change the pointer color (see Assigning
Marker Colors, on page 71).
