The tally lamp lets you know that the
camcorder is recording, receiving
signals from the wireless controller or
counting down for the self-timer.
However, its flashing may be
reflected into the lens during close-
up recording, or when recording
through glass.
You may therefore decide to turn it
off.
To turn the tally lamp off, open the menu and select SYSTEM. Then
select TALLY LAMP, set it to OFF and close the menu.
• The tally lamp no longer flashes during recording, but it will still light up
when the camcorder receives a signal from the wireless controller and
during the self-timer countdown.
