Battery Condition Indicator
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the indicator appears on the data panel and monitors. The monitor indicator will change from white to red when battery power is low. If the data panel and monitors are blank, the battery may be exhausted.
Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. This indicator is dis- played for five seconds on the monitors when the camera is turned on. The indicator remains on the data panel.
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low, but all functions are operational. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible. This warning automatically appears and remains on the display until the bat- teries are changed.
Blinking low-battery warning - displayed on the data panel with no other icons. Power is insufficient for camera operation. The shutter will not release. Replace or recharge the battery immediately.
Auto Power Save
To conserve battery power, the camera will turn off the monitors and unnecessary functions if an operation is not made within three minutes. The data panel remains on. To restore power, press the shutter-release button partway down or press the main switch. The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 129).
If an operation is not made within thirty minutes, the camera will shut down. Press the main switch to restore power.
