1 TALLY/REC (recording) lamp

This lights up (red) during recording. It flashes when a problem has occurred. For details, refer to the appropriate section in “6-3 Warning system.”

2 (abnormal operating status warning) lamp

This lights when the unit is set to an abnormal operating status for any of the items set to “ON” on the “!LED” screen of the setting menu.

For details on selecting the items which are to be indicated

with the lamp, refer to the <!LED> screen items in “Chapter 7 Menu description tables.”
