Battery-condition indicator
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. It is displayed in the bottom left corner of the LCD monitor when the camera is on.
Full-battery indicator – the battery is fully charged.
Low-battery indicator – battery power is low. The battery should be recharged as soon as possible.
If power is insufficient for camera operation, the both indicator lamps next to the viewfinder blink. The monitor will not turn on. The battery must be recharged.
Auto power off
To conserve battery power, the camera will shut down if an operation is not made within three min- utes. To restore power, press the shutter-release button, zoom buttons, or menu button. The length of the auto-power-off period can be changed or the function disabled in the setup menu (p. 70).
