Battery Condition Indicators; Auto Power Save - Minolta DIMAGE 5 Instruction Manual

BATTERY-POWER INDICATORS
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the
camera is on, the battery-condition indicator appears on the data panel and monitors.
The monitor icon will change from white to red when battery power is low. If the data
panel and monitors are blank, the batteries may be dead or installed incorrectly.

AUTO POWER SAVE

To conserve battery power, the camera will turn off displays and unnecessary functions
if an operation is not made within a certain period. The LCD monitor will turn off after
thirty seconds. The EVF and data panel turn off after one minute. To restore the
displays, press the shutter-release button partway down or press the display-
information button. The length of the auto-power-save period for the EVF and data
panel can be changed in the basic section of the setup menu (p. 114).
Full-battery Icon - The batteries are fully charged. This icon is
displayed for five seconds on the monitors when the camera is
turned on. The icon remains on the data panel.
Low battery warning - Battery power is very low, but all
functions are operational. The battery should be replaced as
soon as possible. This warning automatically appears and
remains on the display until the batteries are changed.
Blinking low battery icon - When displayed on the data panel
with no other icons, power is insufficient for camera operation.
The shutter will not release. Replace the batteries immediately.
