BATTERY-CONDITION INDICATOR
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator displayed on the LCD moni- tor. The icon will change from white to red when battery power is low.
Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. This indicator is displayed when the camera is on.
Low-battery indicator - the battery is partially charged.
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. Movie recording is not possible. If the power level falls below this level when the camera is on, the battery-exhausted message appears just before the camera shuts down.
If power is insufficient for camera operation, the indicator lamp next to the viewfinder will turn orange and blink for three seconds. The shutter will not release. The battery must be 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 or playback button. The length of the auto- power-save period can be changed in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 70). When the camera is connected to a computer or PictBridge printer, the auto-power-save period is set to ten minutes and cannot be changed.
