ETTING UP AND RUNNING
Battery condition indicator
Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. This indicator is dis-
played for three seconds on the monitor when the camera is turned on.
Low-battery indicator - battery power is low. The battery should be replaced
as soon as possible. The monitor will turn off while the flash is charging to
save power; the access lamp blinks slowly during this period.
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the
battery-condition indicator appears on the monitor. If the monitor is blank, the batteries may be
exhausted or installed incorrectly.
Auto power save
To conserve battery power, the camera turns off displays and unnecessary functions if an operation
is not made within a minute. To restore power, press any button or key, or turn the exposure-mode
dial to another position. The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in section 1 of the
setup menu (p. 83).
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The monitor indicator is
red. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible. This warning auto-
matically appears and remains on the monitor until the battery is changed.
The monitor will turn off while the flash is charging to save power; the access
lamp blinks slowly during this period. If power falls below this level, the bat-
tery-exhausted message will be displayed just before the camera shuts
down. If the low-battery warning is displayed, UHS continuous advance, both
Progressive Capture drive modes, and movie recording cannot be used.
