BATTERY-CONDITION INDICATOR
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator displayed on the LCD monitor. The indicator will change from white to red when battery power is low.
Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. This is displayed when the camera is on.
Low-battery indicator - the battery power is low. The batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. This is displayed when the camera is turned on.
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The batteries must be replaced soon. The LCD monitor will turn off when the flash is charging. This warning automatically appears and remains on the monitor until the batteries are replaced. If the power level falls below this level when the camera is on, the battery-exhausted message will appear just before the camera shuts down.
If power is insufficient for camera operation, LCD monitor will be blank and the shutter will not release. Change the batteries.
AUTO POWER OFF
To conserve battery power, the camera will shut down if an operation is not made within three minutes. To restore power, press the main switch. The length of the auto-power-off period can be changed in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 85). When the camera is connected to a computer, the auto-power-off period is set to ten minutes and cannot be changed.
