For directions on setting the options, see [4-6-2 Setting Menu Options].

Abnormal Operating Status Warning Lamp

This lamp comes on when the AJ-SPC700P is in any of the abnormal operating statuses specified through the menu sub-option !LED.

For statuses that activate the lamp, see the options in the <!LED> screen in [8-4-7 !LED].

BATT (battery) Lamp

This lamp starts blinking a few minutes before the battery charge starts to run out, and stays illuminated after the battery is completely flat. The battery should be replaced before it is nearly flat, so that operation will not be interrupted.

For more information, see [7-3 Warning System].

In the normal setting:

The lamp stays on when the SAVE switch is positioned at [ON] and the output of video and audio is power- saved.

When the menu option SAVE LED is set to “P2 CARD”:

The lamp comes on when the P2 card remaining free space is getting low.

The menu option SAVE LED can be found in the <VF INDICATOR2>, which is accessible from the VF page.

50 (50-Mbps recording/playback) Lamp

This lamp stays illuminated when the AJ-SPC700P is set to the DVCPRO50 (50 Mbps) format, and when playback is being performed in the DVCPRO50 format.

Note that the lamp is factory-disabled. For more information, see the relevant section of the menu option 50M INDICATOR in [8-4-1 VF DISPLAY].
