Shows whether you’ve got one or two batteries connected, this includes
DC connections from external power sources. If there is no Battery
connected a number will not be displayed in the appropriate slot.
Touching the Battery Indicator takes you to the Batteries screen where
you can closely monitor the status of the Batteries.
When a battery is running low its icon will ash.
Batteries Screen
The Batteries screen indicator is made up of two Battery icons, the active
battery is shown in orange and the level of each battery is shaded in 1/4
increments with a voltage level shown on top.
In the picture above we see Battery 1 is full and active and
Battery 2 is currently inactive and 1/4 depleted. If no battery
is present it will show an X in the picture and will be Black in
colour as pictured left.
Warning: If both of the batteries are fully depleted, the unit will
turn itself off. The Shogun will switch to the battery screen for the
last 5 seconds of available power before shutting down, alerting
you that shut down is about to occur.
AutoSwitching/ManualSwitching
The Shogun will automatically switch between connected power sources
when the source in use is depleted. ie: DC > Battery auto switches.

Located in the top right of the screen. When a disk is inserted, the
Storage Capacity Indicator will show the recording capacity of the drive
in hours minutes and seconds, based on the currently selected video
compression, which of course, will determine the recording bitrate.
