When power in the camcorder’s batteries grows low and the error message LOW BATT appears, the voltage is displayed. When power is normal, you can view the voltage by pressing the MENU switch up to the STATUS side and holding it there to view the status indication.

An error message is displayed when an abnormality has been detected by the auto diagnostic function (page 97). If there is a voltage drop below 11.3 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.
