The camcorder informs you of situations where
warning, caution, or an operation check is
required, through messages on the LCD monitor/
viewfinder screen, the tally lamps, and a buzzer.

The buzzer is output to the built-in speaker or to
the headphones connected via the headphone
connector. The buzzer volume can be adjusted
with “Alarm Level” in “Audio Output” (page
114)
of the AUDIO SET menu.

The camcorder stops all operations, including recording, if an error indication occurs (see below).

When one of the following indications is generated, follow the message to clear the problem.
