Error message displays
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:
A flat 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.
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.
FLASH MEMORY
EMPTY
This appears when garbage data in the built-in
flash memory needs to be collected.
A special memory called a flash 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 1 minute) so it should be
done when there is a spare moment.
