In addition to video images, the viewfinder displays lamps and text that indicate the settings and operating status of the
unit, together with messages, a center marker, a safety zone marker and the camera ID.
The above viewfinder is the AJ-VF20WBP (for further
information on your optional viewfinder model, see the
relevant instruction manual).
1.

This lamp stays illuminated during recording, and
starts blinking if any abnormal action occurs.
For more information, see [Warning System] (page
133).
2.
Abnormal Operating Status Warning Lamp
This lamp comes on when the unit 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 [!LED] (page 157).
3.
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 [Warning System] (page
133).

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.

The lamp starts blinking when the P2 card remaining
free space is getting low.
The menu option SAVE LED can be found in the <VF

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 [VF DISPLAY] (page 154).
The viewfinder can display a screen that allows you to
check the settings and status of the unit.
Each press of the MODE CHECK button switches the
screen as follows:
