Tally Light
Your studio camera has a small tally indicator on the LCD, plus a large tally light on the top
panel. When your camera is connected to an ATEM switcher, the tally light lets the talent and
camera operator know which camera is on air, which camera is about to go live and if the
camera is recording.
When your camera is on air, the tally indicators illuminate red, green when switched to the
preview output and orange when ISO recording.
Your camera also features clip-on transparent camera numbers that attach to the tally light,
making it easy for talent to see camera numbers up to 20 feet away.

NOTE
When the camera is not connected to a switcher the tally light will illuminate red
as a simple record tally indicator.
