The camera ID is specified through the  
screen.
The ID can include up to 10 alphanumeric characters, 
symbols, and/or spaces.

						

							72Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Setting Time Data The unit supports UMID metadata. You need to specify as 
UMID information the country where you live (using up to 
3 characters), organization or company (up to 4 characters) 
and user name (up to 4 characters). For the country name, 
you must use abbreviations prescribed in the ISO3166 
Country Code*.
Here are some examples of the correct method for 
specifying a user name:
1Go to the  screen from the MAIN 
OPERATION page.
2Turn the jog dial button to move the arrow (cursor) to the 
option USER.
3Press the jog dial button. The arrow (cursor) moves to 
the user entry area, allowing you to enter a user name.
4Turn the jog dial button until a desired character 
appears. The characters appear in the following order:

By setting the DISPLAY switch to [CTL], CTL count is 
displayed on the time count indication of the LCD display 
window.
The CTL count is displayed in ±12 hours with non-drop-
frame.
The playback order of clips recorded on a P2 card is not 
linear as for VTRs. It is organized according to thumbnail 
operations or exchanging P2 cards, and the priority of 
recorded clips will be altered. Therefore, different CTL 
counts are displayed for recording mode and playback 
mode, respectively.
Recording CTL count is displayed during recording mode 
(REC, REC/PAUSE, STOP and REC REVIEW), and the 
count continues from the end point of the previous 
recording. Recording CTL count is retained even if the 
power is turned off. When the power is next turned on, the 
count continues from the previous value.

						

							74Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Viewfinder Screen Status Displays In addition to video images, the viewfinder displays lamps and text that indicate the settings and operating status of the unit, 
together with messages, a center marker, a safety zone marker and the camera ID.
The above viewfinder is the AJ-HVF21G (for further information 
on your optional viewfinder model, see the relevant instruction 
manual).
1. TALLY/REC (recording) Lamp
This lamp stays illuminated in red during recording, and 
starts blinking if any abnormal action occurs.
For more information, see [Warning System] 
(page 155).
2. Abnormal Operating Status Warning Lamp
This lamp comes on when the unit is in any of the 
abnormal operating statuses specified through the 
 menu screen.
For statuses that activate the lamp, see the options in 
the [!LED] (page 183).
3. BATT (battery) Lamp
This lamp starts blinking a few minutes before the 
battery charge starts to run out, and stays illuminated 
after the battery is completely flat. The battery should be 
replaced before it is nearly flat, so that operation will not 
be interrupted.
For more information, see [Warning System] 
(page 155).
4. SAVE Lamp
In the normal setting:
The lamp stays on when the SAVE switch is positioned 
at [ON] and the output of video and audio is power-
saved.
When the menu option SAVE LED is set to 
“P2CARD”:
The lamp starts blinking when the P2 card remaining 
free space is getting low.
The menu option SAVE LED can be found in the  screen on the VF page.
The viewfinder can display a screen that allows you to check 
the settings and status of the unit.
Each press of the MODE CHECK button switches the 
screen as follows:
STATUS screen  !LED screen  FUNCTION screen  
AUDIO screen  CAC screen  USER SW STATUS screen 
 No indication
Each screen is displayed for about 5 seconds. A press of the 
MODE CHECK button switches the current screen.
Whether or not to display each screen is specified through 
the  screen, which is accessible from 
the VF page.
