Please, If anybody know what is mean crossed red circle in left corner of LCD display and viewfinder.
This sign is comming on and off sporadicaly.

I believe you're talking about the icon that displays when there's no tape in.

Peter,

It can be one of the 2 reasons:
1:It means your heads are dirty.
2:It can be a bad tape, replaced the tape and it might go away.


Johnnie

Thanks for advice. I will do more investigation.
Result will be posted here.

a crossed red circle means dirty head

i had afew other errors the pther day,
I usually wind the tapes to slacken them a bit, but the camera had some issues with the tape and asked me to reset the camera after power down..
i then put the same tape in my mx500 to do the FF thinking it was jsut the way i put the tape in...
the mx didnt like it either but ther was no message or anythign...

turns out it was a bodgy tape and as i tried to remove the tape it got chewed...

so these cams arent as dumb as we like to think they are i guess...
