Battery life 9, 10, 11
Battery life is dependent on a number of variable factors and therefore cannot be exact-
ly predicted. If the camera is left in the active state instead of standby for long periods,
for example, then the battery will become exhausted much faster.
A low camera battery state is indicated by a symbol on the grip display (fig. 9), in the
viewfinder as well as on the sensor unit display (fig. 10). In addition, an audible signal
can be heard.
The warning on the display (fig. 10) appears as a flashing yellow icon in the top right of
the screen signifying that the battery should be charged (or changed) as soon as pos-
sible. The warning icon will also appear with a FireWire connection and will in addition
turn red to signify that the camera battery is completely exhausted.
When the battery is almost completely exhausted, a warning message Replace battery
will appear on the grip display (fig. 11).

Note
When the Low battery icon appears, the camera automatically enters a temporary
power-saving mode. This is recognizable by a slower pace for all the actions in a capture
sequence. The camera actions also sound differently.
This mode is designed so that you can continue working for a while, even though the
power remaining in the battery is too low for working in the normal manner. Naturally,
you should replace the battery as soon as possible to restore normal action again.
