◆Power Save Function ◆
If the camera is not used in any way for approx. 30
seconds when the camera functions are enabled, this
function temporarily switches features such as the LCD
monitor off to reduce power consumption (➡P.80). If
the camera is then left unused for a further period (2
minutes or 5 minutes), the Power Save function
automatically switches the camera off. To switch the
camera back on, slide the Power switch to the side to
turn the camera off briefly and then turn it back on.
◆Checking the remaining battery charge ◆
Switch the camera on and check that no battery
level warning (Z, Xor C) is displayed on
the LCD monitor. If no icon is displayed, there is
ample charge left in the battery.
iZLit white:
The battery is approximately half charged.
iXLit red:
Battery charge low. Replace or recharge the
battery as it will run out shortly.
iCBlinking red:
The battery is exhausted. The display will shortly
go blank and the camera will stop working.
Replace or recharge the battery.
