How to reset camera when you have no VF display.

If you don't have a Sony viewfinder connected to the viewfinder port it is possible to accidentally turn off the display overlays on the SDI and HDMI ports. From Version 2 firmware on this is not an issue as pressing the CAMERA button twice will bring up an option to turn the VF overlays on and off via the side panel buttons. However this option is not available in earlier firmware versions.

If you get stuck you can use the following ley press sequence to reset the camera back to it's default settings:

Menu is the menu button, view is the lower of the 4 screen side buttons, arrows are the side panel buttons, select is a single push of the rotary dial. Try pressing select after the last arrow if this doesn't work the first time.

Press:
Menu
View x2
Down arrow x10
Select
down arrow x 14
Select x2
up arrow x1
Select
right arrow (->)
Wait 5 sec power cycle
