The Display Panel The display panel keeps track of how many pictures you
can take and gives you information on camera settings
and the battery level.
Checking the Battery When the battery power is almost out, a low battery icon
appears on the display panel. When this icon is
flashing, you cannot take pictures until you change the
batteries. When the battery power runs out with the LCD
monitor in the Playback or View mode, the low battery
icon appears on the LCD screen for five seconds, then the
monitor and the camera turn off automatically.
You should use the low battery icon only as a rough
guide to remaining power. Note that several factors can
affect battery life, including the surrounding temperature
and the type of batteries you use. Low temperatures
(especially below 10°C) will drain your batteries more
rapidly. See page 15 for information about changing
batteries.
Clicking the Shutter Follow the steps below to take photos using the
viewfinder or the LCD monitor.
Using the viewfinder
1. Turn the camera on and wait until the status light
beside the viewfinder turns green.
