1 Display a Shooting or Playback Setting Screen (pages 52, 68, 78, 87).

eThe battery pack remaining charge indicator appears in the lower right

corner of the LCD monitor.

eDue to the battery pack characteristics, when the ambient temperature is low, rt may appear early for an incorrect indication of the remaining charge. Also, depending on the conditions of use of the camera or the ambient conditions (temperature, etc.), the indicated remaining charge may change. Therefore, this indication can only be used as a general approximation of the remaining charge.
