hey, I think I am forgetting something.. But I have checked the hours on my camera, it only says hour meter, and then the number... but it only shows that... How does everyone else see drum hour/ operational hours?
Thanks

You need to switch the camera to tape mode, then it will display all the hour info.

I don't think you need to that.
Just go to the other menu and it's the ninth selection I believe if you have the latest firmware.

Have you tried switching the camera to tape mode? My brand new 200A does not display drum hours unless it's in tape mode...
I don't think it's a firmware issue.
