Warning/Error Messages
If the battery voltage drops or an error is detected when 
power is applied or during operation, the corresponding 
indicator lights up/flashes and a message appears on the 
subdisplay. The error details are displayed in the self-
diagnostics on settings page 3 on the subdisplay and in the 
viewfinder.
Warnings and error messages occurring on the SR-R4 are 
also displayed in the self-diagnostics field. 
For details about SR-R4 messages, refer to the operation 
manual of the SR-R4.
A message prompt is also displayed in the viewfinder/
monitor to execute the APR function if a defect is detected 
in the image sensor when the camera powers on or if the 
APR function is not executed regularly. If prompted, 
execute Automatic Pixel Noise Reduction on the 
<Maintenance> page of the Diagnosis menu.
