6 REC/TALLY (recording/tally) indicators (red)
These flashe from the time when you press the VTR
button on the lens or camcorder until recording starts,
then stay on continuously during recording.
These are also used to indicate a fault. (See page
142.)
When a CCU (camera control unit) is connected,
these indicators light only when a CALL signal is

during VCR recording or in the case of a VCR fault.
The lower indicator can be disabled by menu setting.
