Battery-condition indicator
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator displayed on the LCD monitor. The icon will change from white to red when battery power is low.
Full-battery icon - the battery is fully charged. This icon is displayed for three seconds when the camera is on or switched between the recording or playback mode.
Half-full-battery icon - the battery is partially charged. This icon is displayed for three seconds. The LCD monitor will turn off when the flash is charging.
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible. This warning automatically appears and remains on the monitor until the battery is recharged. If the power level falls below this level when the camera is on, the battery-exhausted message will appear just before the camera shuts down.
If power is insufficient for camera operation, the indicator lamp next to the viewfinder will turn red and blink for three seconds. The shutter will not release. The battery must be recharged.
