Battery Check

1. Set the shutter speed dial at 15.

Turn shutter speed dial and set the figure 15 at the dot “A”

*When the shutter speed was already set at the position A • AEL, the lock mechanism is functioning. Therefore, turn the dial while pressing the AE lock button “B” located at the center of the shutter speed dial.

2. Half-pressing the shutter button.

When the shutter button is touched gently, the figure 15 lights in the red color at the bottom part in the viewfinder, which indicates that the battery power is normal. If the figure 15 blinks, it indicates drop of the battery power below the allowable level, when prepare for the new battery. When the battery power drops further, the figure 15 will not blink, and warning LED blinks. Replace the battery with a new one.

∙Other than set figure 15, blinks and warning LED lights, but check and confirm only set figure 15.

∙Battery check can be done not only shutter speed at 15 but also other shutter speeds, viz: B - 1 /1 to 1 /500.

∙Even when AE photographing, the battery check can be done with the shutter speed indicated in the viewfinder.
