! The information above is a guide for photography mode. Depending on the camera mode and the type of batteries used, the transition from “C” to “V” may occur more quickly.

! Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations. This is normal. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.

Battery level warning

1)The camera’s estimation of the remaining battery charge varies greatly depending on the camera operation mode. Consequently, even if “C” or “V” is not displayed in Playback mode, one of them may appear when you change to Photography mode.

2)Depending on the battery type and the level of charge in the batteries, the camera may run out of power without first displaying a battery level warning. This is particularly to happen when batteries that have run out of charge once are re-used.

In situation 2), immediately load new or fully charged replacement batteries.

Power save function

When this function is active, it turns off the LCD monitor to reduce power consumption if the camera is not

 

used for 30 seconds (P.50). If the camera is then left unused for 2 minutes or 5 minutes, the Power save

 

function turns the camera off. To restore power to the camera to take pictures, briefly close and then re-

 

open the lens cover. To play back images, hold down the “Playback” button for approx. 1 seconds.
