LED STATUS INDICATORS
Expect to see these indicators when the camera is not connected to a computer:
steady yellow - The camera is in Video Mode 1 and on standby.
slowly flashing yellow (1 sec. on, 1 sec. off ) - The camera is in Video Mode 1 and is
recording video. The Video Recording indicator (see Basic Settings) must be on.
steady blue - The camera is in Video Mode or Playback Mode (if an A/V cable is
connected) and on standby.
slowly flashing blue - The camera is in Video Mode 2 and recording video.
The Video Recording indicator must be on.
steady red - The camera is in Photo Mode.
one red/yellow flash - The camera has taken a picture.
steady blue and yellow (together) - The camera is in Mode 1 or Mode 2 with AE
Lock and/or AWB Lock turned on. See “Auto Exposure and White Balance Locks” above.
slowly flashing blue and yellow (together) - The camera is recording in Mode 1 or
Mode 2 with AE Lock and/or AWB Lock turned on.
See “Auto Exposure and White Balance Locks” above.
slowly flashing yellow and red (together) - The camera is recording in Mode 1
without recording sound.
slowly flashing blue and red (together) - The camera is recording in Mode 2
without recording sound.
steady green - The battery is charging.
In some cases, three LEDs will be on or blinking at the same time, for example AE/AWB lock
together with audio recording turned off. Since the physical LEDs are not visible, it will be very
difficult to see which LEDs are turned on in these cases. If both the red and blue LEDs are on at
the same time, the result will appear as purple.
Rear LED: If the camera hasn’t been changed from the default to show the recording Indicator, then
the rear LED will normally blink in sequence with the main LED while recording or in standby mode.
