Managing batteries

When the batteries are removed from the camera, the date and time settings are preserved for approximately 10 minutes. If the camera is without batteries for longer than 10 minutes, the clock is set to the last time and date at which the camera was used. You may be prompted to update the date and time.

The following battery levels are displayed on the Status LCD and the Image Display.
