Troubleshooting (continued)
The remaining battery time indicator does not indicate the correct figure.
• Ambient temperature is too high or too low, or the battery pack has not been charged enough.
This is not a malfunction.
• Fully charge the battery again. If the problem persists, the battery may be worn-out. Replace
with a new battery (p. 19).
• The indicated figure may not be correct in certain circumstances. For example, when you
remove the LCD screen, it takes about 1 minute to display the correct remaining battery.
The battery pack discharges too quickly.
