16 GETTING UP AND RUNNING
BATTERY-CONDITION INDICATOR
Full-battery icon - the battery is fully charged. This icon is displayed when
the camera is on.
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The battery should be
replaced as soon as possible. This warning automatically appears and
remains on the monitor until the battery is recharged. If the power level falls
below this level when the camera is on, the battery-exhausted message will
appear just before the camera shuts down.
AUTO POWER OFF
To conserve battery power, the camera will shut down if an operation is not made within three min-
utes. To restore power, press the main switch. The length of the auto-power-off period can be
changed in the custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 74). When the camera is connected to a com-
puter, the auto-power-off period is set to ten minutes and cannot be changed.
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator displayed on the LCD monitor.
The icon will change from white to red when battery power is low.
Half-full-battery icon - the battery is partially charged. This icon is displayed
when the camera is turned on. The LCD monitor will turn off when the flash is
charging.
If power is insufficient for camera operation, the indicator lamp next to the
viewfinder will turn red and blink for three seconds. The shutter will not
release. The battery must be recharged.
