M30, and then set the power switch to “VIDEO”.

following button operation:
Press the SELECT button and release it; then, within 0.5
second, simultaneously hold down the SELECT and
FOCUS buttons for at least 3 seconds.
Display clearing method
1) Press the DISPLAY button.
After displaying and checking error code, be sure to clear
the error code display: If you neglect this, the error code
will always be displayed.
(2) Details of error code display
1) Error codes of 2 problems are displayed one above the
other.
The error code of the latest problem appears in the upper
row, and the error code of the problem that occurred
before appears in the lower row. However, when the
same problem occurs continuously, it will be judged as
one problem, and the same error code will not appear
continuously.
2) If only one error code is stored in flash memory, the
error code will appear in the upper row, and “0000” will
appear in the lower row.
3) If no error code is stored in flash memory, “0000” will
appear in both rows.
