P
will have no effect.
As an alternative, in UI /config page, When Charging option should be
Turn OFF . This reduces the charging time to minimum, and it is also
recommended if MECHA is not intended to be used with the charging
cable inserted, to prevent accidental rotation of MECHA by UI commands
when charging.

As the power LED is off, don't forget the device turned on.

Backlash compensation calibration.
After the code is entered, MECHA will turn slowly to the right, then power
LED will start flashing.
After that, you have to press
P
when you see/feel that MECHA starts
moving very slightly to the left.
You can use the viewfinder, LIVE view with zoom, or other devices
attached, like a laser pointer, and so on, or simply feel by hand when
that small movement begins.
At the end, the LEDs will show, say, " :24 ", where 24 is the new calibration
factor (it should be around this value).
You can enter the code again if you want a better result or you have
more precise ways to determine the small movement.
You can cancel the procedure with any other button when the power
button,
P
, flashes, or press the P button right after it starts to flash to
have no compensation at all, or it will time-out in 5 minutes if no buttons
are pressed.
