F750: Operation Status LEDs Info

[mikochu]

Hello,

I noticed my F750/x500 setup's Operation Status LEDs sometimes show left: blue and right: off during operation. I tried looking this up in the manual, but there was no information on when the left LED is blue and the right LED is off. I rebooted the camera and it seemed fine. However, I noticed the right LED turns off when I try to go into LiveView via wifi. If and when the LiveView initializes correctly, the right LED turns off and I can't seem to view the front camera, only the rear. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

I too noticed that my F750 LEDs don't match the manual. My old brain is getting forgetful now so I'll have to recheck it. However I think the issue is that the right LED is sometimes green, I think maybe in parking mode when it is not recording. It is certainly the case that when you connect a device via wifi the recording function turns off, although I can't remember what my LEDs do when this happens. If you can only view the rear camera then there is something wrong. Do you get any icon in the top right hand corner of the device screen? Mine does and it switches between front and rear cameras.

Ah...I think the right LED in blue means it is recording. Also, I unplugged the rear view camera and the LiveView defaulted to the front camera. I have a 90° Micro USB adapter connected to the front camera. I'll take it off...think that's the issue.

Be careful of using adaptors. They need to be full 5-wire connections if they are to be used at the front camera.

Ah. Okay. It's interesting, the front and rear cam seem to work fine with the pigtail other than the front camera not showing up in LiveView.
