BATTERY-CONDITION INDICATOR

This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator displayed on the LCD moni- tor. The indicator changes 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.
