Self-diagnosis function
The camcorder has a self-diagnosis display.
This function displays the camcorder's
condition with five digits (a combination of a
letter and figures) on the LCD screen or in the
viewfinder. If this occurs, check the following
code chart. The five-digit display informs you
of the camcorder's current condition. The last
two digits (indicated by ππ) will differ
depending on the state of the camcorder.
