FAQ

AW-UE40 AW-UE50

The following problem occurred, but we have released a fixed firmware.
Please update the firmware to Ver. 2.10 or later.
Symptom:
Even if the DRS function is set, if you turn the power off once or set standby mode, there was a problem where the effect of the DRS function is disabled when you restart the unit.
The settings you have set are reflected in the menu, but they are not working, so you had to set DRS again in the menu.

If the status indicator light is red, the following may be the cause:
The AW-UE40 and AW-UE50 come with a lens cap and a pan stopper to protect the lens.
If the camera is powered on with the lens cap and pan stopper still attached, the camera's initial operations cannot be executed, causing the status indicator light to turn red.
When turning on the camera, always remove the lens cap and pan stopper.
If you powered on the camera with the lens cap and pan stopper attached, remove the lens cap and pan stopper, and then turn the power on again to clear the error indication.
(Lens Cap) (Pan Stopper)

*For instructions on attaching and removing the lens cap and pan stopper, please refer to the instruction manual.
