indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
Recording is not possible when 
is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.
•The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the REC mode and PLAY mode.
•Leaving the camera for about 30 days with no power supplied while the battery is dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page 106).
•See page 135 for information about battery life and number of shots.
Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the Camera
The first time you turn on the camera, a screen appears for configuring the display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.
IMPORTANT!
•A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under “Specifying the Display Language (Language)” (page 107). Note that a version of this manual in the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the Japanese market.
•Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language selection.
