, a safety zone marker, and a center marker,

camera settings may also be displayed on the
viewfinder screen using text and symbols.  Further,
there are other indicators arranged above and below
the viewfinder, such as a tally lamp, battery warning
indicator, and an indicator to tell that one or more
settings are other than standard.  This makes it simple
to check the status of the camera.

The camera uses electro-optical coding cable for 3-
gigabit digital optical transmission between the camera
and a camera control unit.

Along with developing the HDC-F950, a 3-type LCD
multi-format color viewfinder HDVF-C30W is
provided.

When the power connection is unsafe, the power
supply from the HDCU (Camera Control Unit) will be
shut off.
