THE CAMERA BODY
2.11 LED INDICATORS
The XTRprod utilizes LED indicators in three locations to convey infor-
mation: in the viewfinder and on both left and right outsides of the ca-
mera body.
2.11.1 Position and Meaning of the Diodes
• Two yellow diodes, placed on both right and left sides of the ca-
mera body indicate that the camera is either on Test or on Run mo-
de.
• Two red diodes, placed on both right and left side of the camera
body, and a third one, visible from the viewfinder, display a special
warning.
• One yellow diode, located to the right of the Jog wheel and called
the timecode diode, flashes each second if the timecode has been
initialized in the camrea.

Displaying a 5 Digit
Speed
If the XTRprod is set to a
variable (5-digit) speed, the
control panel will only display
that speed to the .01 digit.
Keep in mind, the display will
not rounf off the speed, but
simply leave off the last digit.
For example, if the 5 digit
speed of 23.976 is entered, the
control panel will display
23.97, not 23.98.
Remember…
Variable Speed for Phasing
Keep in mind, the speed phase
function of the control panel
will only operate when a
variable speed is initially selec-
ted.
When shooting 29.97, for
example, be sure to choose the
specific 29.970 instead of the
preset 29.97 if you plan to
incorporate the phase function
for that particular shot.
