Full-battery indicator - the batteries are fully charged. This
indicator is displayed for five seconds on the monitors when the
camera is turned on. The indicator remains on the data panel.
Blinking low-battery warning - displayed on the data panel with
no other icons. Power is insufficient for camera operation. The
shutter will not release. Replace or recharge the batteries
immediately.
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low, but all functions
are operational. The batteries should be replaced as soon as
possible. This warning automatically appears and remains on
the display until the batteries are changed.
AUTO POWER SAVE
To conserve battery power, the camera will turn off the monitors and unnecessary
functions if an operation is not made within three minutes. The data panel remains on. To
restore power, press the shutter-release button partway down or press the main switch.
The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in section 3 of the setup menu
(p. 129).
If an operation is not made within thirty minutes, the camera will shut down. Press the
main switch to restore power.
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera
is on, the indicator appears on the data panel and monitors. The monitor indicator will
change from white to red when battery power is low. If the data panel and monitors are
blank, the battery may be exhausted.
