14 Getting up and running
Battery condition indicator
Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. This indicator is displayed for
three seconds on the monitor when the camera is turned on.
Low-battery indicator - battery power is low. The battery should be replaced as
soon as possible.
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the
battery-condition indicator appears on the monitor. If the monitor is blank, the batteries may be
exhausted or installed incorrectly.
Auto power save
To conserve battery power, the camera turns off displays and unnecessary functions if an operation
is not made within a minute. To restore power, press any button or key, or turn the exposure-mode
dial to another position. The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in section 1 of
the setup menu (p. 86).
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The monitor indicator is red. The
battery should be replaced as soon as possible. This warning automatically
appears and remains on the monitor until the battery is changed. If power falls
below this level, the battery-exhausted message will be displayed just before the
camera shuts down. If the low-battery warning is displayed, UHS continuous
advance, both Progressive Capture drive modes, and movie recording cannot be
used.
