1 Tally indicator
Setting the TALLY switch to HIGH or LOW activates this indicator. The
indicator lights during recording on the VTR. It also provides the same
2
information as the REC indicator in the viewfinder: it comes on during
recording and flashes to indicate a problem.
2 DISPLAY switch
This switches the indications on the viewfinder screen on or off.
ON: The indications appear on the viewfinder screen.
OFF: The indications do not appear on the viewfinder screen.
Note
When you turn the MENU ON/OFF/PAGE switch to ON, the menu will
appear on the viewfinder screen even if the DISPLAY switch is off.
3 TALLY switch
This switch controls the tally indicator, setting its brightness (HIGH or
LOW) or turning it off.
4 DIAG (diagnosis) button
Pressing this button when the VTR is stopped switches the camcorder to
the self-diagnosis mode. In the self-diagnosis mode, it is possible to carry
out a display panel test, a VTR test, or a camera test, and to display the
test result.
To exit from the self-diagnosis mode, press this button once more.
Refer to "maintenance manual" for more information.
Caution
Do not press the DIAG button when a remote control unit is connected to
the REMOTE connector (8-pin). Pressing the button with a remote
control unit connected will disturb both the self-diagnostic and remote
control functions. The only remedy for this disturbance is to disconnect
the remote control unit and turn off the camcorder POWER switch.
