Canon Xa40 - function button options missing

Hello,

I hope someone might be able to help me.  I have a Canon XA40 camcorder, and usually when I open the lcd screen and hot the "function" button, a variety of option come up including zoom, focus, white balance, etc.  However, I went to se it on a shoot today and when I pressed the "function" button, the only options that cam up were zoom and music.  No idea what button I pushed to get rid of the others, and can't find anything in the manual, but this was frustrating as I couldn't find a way to white balance the camera.  Would anyone know what I did wrong or how to reset this window?  Thank you very much in advance.

Hi MikeB3,

Check the slider on the top of the camera and make sure it is not set to AUTO. Then inspect the camera to see if any buttons appear stuck. If so, try to gently nudge them back into position. Then try doing additional tests.
