BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the indicator appears on the monitor. The indicator changes from white to red when battery power is low. Not all camera functions are available if battery power is low. If the monitor is blank, the battery may be exhausted.
Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged.
Low-battery indicator - battery power is low. Recharge the battery.
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. Recharge the battery.
When power falls below the level of the low-battery warning, the battery exhausted message appears just before the camera shuts down. The camera will not function until the battery is recharged.
AUTO POWER SAVE
To conserve battery power, the camera shuts down if an operation is not made within three minutes. To restore power, press the shutter-release button partway down. The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 105).
The LCD monitor backlight turns off after five seconds. Press a camera button to restore the display. The length of this period can be changed in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 105).
