Hour count

You can access the top menu through the F35's side panel controls.

1) Connect a monitor up to the "monitor" SDI out on the F35
2) Depress the spinning wheel control on the F35's side control panel. Keep it depressed as you...
3) Click the VF/menu display button 2 times.
4) The main menu should appear. Release the spinning wheel.
5) Using the spinning wheel, scroll to Maintenance and click on it by depressing the spinning wheel button.
6) Scroll to M12 and look at the bottom line for the hours under "hours meter"
 
My memory is that for at least some Sony products (IIRC, Betacam VTRs...like mine that's just sitting in storage), the hour-of-use meter measures in tens of hours. So a meter that shows "25" would mean that the device had 250 hour of run or head time. Geez; it's really been a while and I have no idea if that applies to the F35. Perhaps Eric or someone else here does.
