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 minutes. 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 computer, 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.
AC ADAPTER (SOLD SEPARATELY)
The AC adapter AC-4 or AC-5 allows the camera to be powered
from a household outlet. The AC adapter is recommended when
the camera is interfaced with a computer or during periods of
heavy use. AC adapter model AC-4 is for use in North America,
Japan, and Taiwan, and AC-5 is for use in all other areas. The
battery cannot be charged using the AC adapter.
Insert the mini plug of the AC adapter into the DC terminal (1).
Insert the AC adapter plug into an electrical outlet.
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.
Always turn off the camera before changing between power supplies.

the event that the camera is accidentally
dropped.
