1 TALLY indicator
Setting the TALLY switch to HIGH or LOW activates this indicator. The

information as the REC indicator in the viewfinder; it lights up during
recording and flashes to indicate a problem. The brightness of this
indicator when it is lit can be controlled by the TALLY switch.
2 TALLY switch
This switch controls the TALLY indicator, setting its brightness (HIGH
or LOW) or turning it off.

result.
To exit from self-diagnostics mode, press this button once more.
