Battery Level - Nikon Z 8 Reference Manual

Battery Level

The battery level is shown in the shooting display and control panel while the camera is on.
Monitor
The battery level display changes as the battery level diminishes, from L through K, J, I, and
H. When the battery level falls to H, suspend shooting and charge the battery or ready a spare
battery.
If the message [Shutter release disabled. Recharge battery.] is displayed, charge or exchange the
battery.
D
The Standby Timer
The camera uses a standby timer to help reduce the drain on the battery. If no operations are
performed for about 30 seconds, the standby timer will expire and the monitor, viewfinder, and control
panel will turn off. A few seconds prior to turning off, the monitor and viewfinder will dim. They can be
reactivated by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. The length of time before the standby timer
expires automatically can be selected using Custom Setting c3 [Power off delay] > [Standby timer].
