Viewfinder Normal Indications

@Á Voltage/error indication

The current voltage is displayed whenever the camera head’s power supply voltage dips below 11.0 V DC. However, you can also display the current voltage at any time by pressing and holding the MENU/STATUS switch in the upward position (the display is shown for as long as you hold the switch upward).

An error message is displayed when an abnormality has been detected by the auto diagnostic function (page 51). If there is a voltage drop below 11.0 V DC and an error has been detected, the low voltage indication alternates at one-second intervals with the error indication.

If an error message appears, contact your Sony dealer.
