Getting a M.M -2.0 thing flashing on the lcd but google isn’t helping me on this one.
Anyone know what it means?

That was my first thought but as i said im 100% sure its not an error and maybe relates to low light shooting or when a flash is mounted.
It is strange however that there appears to be absolutely no reference to this on the net.
 
Youre metering in manual mode

Manual Exposure
You can shoot with the desired exposure setting by adjusting both the shutter speed and aperture. The shutter speed and the aperture value can be changed while recording movies.

  1. Set the mode dial to M (Manual Exposure).
  2. Select the desired shutter speed by turning the control wheel.
    Select the desired aperture value by turning the control dial.
    When [ISO] is set to other than [ISO AUTO], use MM (Metered Manual) to check the exposure value.
    Toward +: Images become brighter.
    Toward − : Images become darker.
    0: Appropriate exposure analyzed by the product
  3. Adjust the focus and shoot the subject.
Note
  • When [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO], the ISO value automatically changes to achieve the appropriate exposure using the aperture value and shutter speed you have set. If the aperture value and shutter speed you have set are not suitable for appropriate exposure, the ISO value indicator will blink.
  • The Metered Manual indicator does not appear when [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO].
  • When the amount of ambient light exceeds the metering range of the Metered Manual, the Metered Manual indicator flashes.
  • The

    (SteadyShot warning) indicator does not appear in manual exposure mode.
  • The brightness of the image on the monitor may differ from the actual image being shot.

That might very well be the answer. I will check tonight when i get home. It was the M.M that threw me.
If they had put MM instead of M.M it would have been easier to figure out.
