Battery Condition Indicator; Auto Power Save - Minolta DiMAGE F200 Instruction Manual

Battery condition indicator

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 monitor. If the data panel and monitor are
blank, the battery may be exhausted or installed incorrectly.

Auto power save

To conserve battery power, the camera will turn off displays and unnecessary functions if an opera-
tion is not made within a minute. The LCD monitor turns off after thirty seconds. To restore power,
press any button or key, or turn the mode dial to another position. Except for the thirty-second moni-
tor period, the length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in the basic section of the setup
menu (p. 98).
