Does anyone know what it means when the on light, or status indicator light as the manual calls it, lights up orange instead of green? This happened to me the other day. The camera was functioning ok, all was as normal apart from that on light.
I have searched the manual and online and can't find an answer.
Also, is there a way of knowing how much space is left on the memory card when you are out shooting?
Thanks in advance.
 
This is a bit pathetic. I am going to answer my own question. When I saw that the on light was orange I was in the Welcome wing of the science museum in London. It's dark in there and what light there is comes from strange sources, leds, screens, etc. I wonder if what I saw as orange was caused by the strange lighting. It really did look orange though.
 
Also, look in the lower right corner of the EVF or LCD, for the remaining time indicator. Use the quick menu to toggle between displaying remaining recording time and photos remaining. (This is assuming the GH2 menu system is similar to the GH1, since I don't have a GH2)
 
Thankyou CColton, I totally forgot about the remaining time thing. I have been researching the green/orange led thing a bit. Apparently if the voltage to a green led is too high it will glow orange and eventually burn out. Hmm, I wish I knew what was really going on.

Huh, weird. Never seen mine orange, although it flashes when battery or card space is almost up.
