Error message displays
When an error occurs, an error message appears in the viewfinder.
There are two types of error messages: those which appear when the power is switched on, and those which
appear during operation.
The tables given below indicate the causes and remedial action for the corresponding error messages.
Error messages which appear when the power is switched on
Error display Cause Remedial action
BACKUP BATTERY
EMPTY This appears when the internal clock battery
has run down. Replace the unit's back-up battery. For the
replacement procedure, refer to page 58, and
consult with your dealer.
Remarks:
Aflat back-up battery will interfere with the clock and time code free run functions although all
other functions will remain unaffected. Replace the back-up battery at the earliest possible
opportunity.
The BACKUP BATTERY EMPTY display will appear even when the power is turned back on
immediately after the back-up battery was replaced. This is normal and not indicative of a
malfunction.
FLASH MEMORY
EMPTY This appears when garbage data in the built-in
flash memory needs to be collected.
Aspecial memory called aflash memory is used
inside this unit. It contains all the menu settings,
white balance adjustment data and many other
types of data. Due to the fact that this is a
special memory, the old data no longer required
when menu changes are made, for instance,
are retained. Consequently, garbage memory
contents such as these must be collected from
time to time.
Proceed with garbage collection on the
MAINTENANCE menu screen among the menu
items. Refer to the menu items (on pages 48,
49 and 55).
Remarks:
This display appears well ahead of time so there is no need to panic and initiate garbage collection
immediately. The garbage collection processing takes some time (about 1minute) so it should be
done when there is aspare moment.
16

Error messages which appear during operation
Error display Cause Remedial action
TOO BRIGHT
ERROR This appears when the white balance is to be adjusted (when the AUTO W/B BAL switch was
operated) or when the screen is excessively
bright.
Stop down the iris alittle more, and adjust the
white balance. If the error display remains,
insert the electronic shutter or attach the ND
filter.
TOO DARK ERROR This appears when the white balance is to be
adjusted (when the AUTO W/B BAL switch was
operated) or when the screen is excessively
dark.
Open the iris alittle more, increase the gain (if
this is warranted by the subject brightness), and
adjust the white balance. If the error display
remains, direct some light onto the subject.
LENS UNIT ERROR This appears when the lens cable has been
disconnected or when the lens iris control circuit
has been damaged.
The cause is almost always adisconnected lens
cable. If the display appears even when the
cable is connected properly, consult with your
dealer.
SELECT SW ERROR This appears when the AUTO W/B BAL switch
was operated with the white balance selector
switch at aposition other than MEMO.
Adjust the white balance (operate the AUTO
W/B BAL switch) with the white balance selector
switch at the MEMO position.
OUTPUT SW ERROR This appears when the AUTO W/B BAL switch
was operated with the OUTPUT switch at a
position other than CAM.
Adjust the white balance (operate the AUTO
W/B BAL switch) with the OUTPUT switch at the
CAM position.
BLACK BAL ERROR This points to amalfunction in the camera unit. Consult with your dealer.
WHITE BAL ERROR
TRY AGAIN This appears when the white balance was not
attained properly due to some condition or
other.
If the TOOL BRIGHT ERROR, TOO DARK
ERROR or LENS UNIT ERROR message has
appeared, take the corresponding measure, and
then try adjusting the white balance again.
If the WHITE BAL ERROR TRY AGAIN
message has appeared but the TOOL BRIGHT
ERROR, TOO DARK ERROR or LENS UNIT
ERROR message has not appeared, proceed to
attain the white balance again. If the display still
appears even after two or three attempts,
consult with your dealer.
Remarks:
The above errors are detected when the white balance is adjusted (when the AUTO W/B BAL switch has been operated).
The LENS UNIT ERROR is also detected immediately after the power has been switched on.
SERVO This appears when an unrecorded part of atape
is played back or at other times when the VTR
servo lock is disengaged.
It is normal for this display to appear with
unrecorded parts of tapes. If the display
appears during the playback of an obviously
recorded tape or during recording, this points to
amalfunction. Consult with your dealer.
HUMID This signifies that condensation has formed.
Refer to page 63 where detailed instructions
can be found.
Refer to page 63 where detailed instructions
