Getting up and running
Battery condition indicator
Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. This indicator is
displayed when the camera is on.
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The battery should be
recharged as soon as possible. This warning automatically appears and
remains on the monitors until the battery is recharged. The monitor will
turn off while the flash is charging to save power. If power falls below this
level when the camera is on, the battery-exhausted message appears
just before the camera shuts down. If the battery warning is displayed,
movie recording, movie editing, and UHS continuous advance cannot be
used.
Low-battery indicator - the battery is partially charged. The monitor will
turn off while the flash is charging to save power.
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 (auto power save). 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. 141).
If an operation is not made within thirty minutes, the camera will shut down (auto power off). Press the
main switch to restore power.
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. The monitor indicator will
change from white to red when battery power is low.
