•The remaining battery charge may not be displayed correctly when used in high or low temperatures, or when the camera has not been used for a long period of time. To display the remaining battery charge correctly, fully charge the battery and recharge it after using it completely. (Even when doing so, batteries used for lengthy periods in high and low temperatures or those repeatedly charged sometimes do not display the battery level correctly.)

•Since the time on the battery level display may vary depending on usage conditions, use it as a guideline.

•When switching modes, performing REC CHECK, or changing the LCD brightness, the time display will disappear for a moment to recalculate the remaining battery charge time.

•Not displayed when using an AC adaptor.
