CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY PACK CHARGE

When using the battery pack, the remaining battery pack charge can be checked on the monitor. Make sure to check this indicator before capturing an image. For an indication of the possible length of time for battery

pack operation, see page 184.

1 Display a Shooting or Playback Setting Screen (pages 65 and 89).

hThe battery pack remaining charge indicator appears in the lower right corner of the monitor.

hDue to the battery pack characteristics, when the ambient

temperature is low, 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.
