BATTERY-CONDITION INDICATOR
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator displayed on the LCD monitor.
Full-battery icon - the batteries are fully charged. This icon is displayed when the recording or playback menu is displayed.
Half-full battery icon - the batteries are partially charged. This icon is displayed when the recording or playback menu is displayed.
Low-battery warning glows steadily - battery power is very low. The batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. This warning automatically appears.
Low-battery warning blinks while you press the shutter-release button - the shutter will not release.
If power is insufficient for camera operation, the indicator lamp next to the viewfinder will turn red. The shutter will not release. The batteries must be replaced.
AUTO POWER SAVE
To conserve battery power, the camera will turn off displays if an operation is not made within several minutes. To restore power, press the main switch, shutter-release button, menu button or the central button of the controller. The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in the setup mode (p. 64). When the camera is connected to a computer, the auto-power-save does not work; the camera will shut down automatically after 12 hours.
