The camera is shipped from the factory with a backup battery already mounted.
When the battery runs out, the [BACK UP BATT EMPTY] display appears on the viewfinder screen for 3 seconds after the power switch is turned ON.
The internal clock stops operating when the battery runs out. Also, the TCG time code value returns to [00:00:00:00], and the time code backup is disabled. The battery must be replaced.
Please consult your nearest service center for replacement with a new battery (CR2032).
The backup battery is visible when the panel on the LCD monitor side is removed (right side when viewed from the front).
