The CHARGE light flashes green while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the CHARGE light turns off. A fully charged battery lasts about 1 hour, depending on how you use the P-1000. When it is running out, you see the message Battery power is low. Connect

the AC adapter to ensure proper operation.

Placing the P-1000 in the Viewing Stand

For a comfortable way to look at your pictures, you can put the P-1000 in the viewing stand:

Conserving Battery Power

To conserve battery power and protect the LCD screen, the P-1000 has two power-saving features. If no button has been pressed and there has been no activity for 3 minutes, the backlight on the LCD screen is turned off. After 5 minutes, the power is turned off.

Note:

You can change the number of minutes for these settings; see This is especially convenient for watching a slide show. “Setting the Power Save Options” on page 48.

If the screen goes dark because the backlight is turned off, press any button on the P-1000 to resume operation. If the P-1000 has been powered off, you need to turn it back on with the power switch.

Note:

The power is also turned off if the P-1000 gets too hot. If this happens, let it cool before turning it back on.
