As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates
remaining power as shown below.

indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
Recording is not possible when
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about 20 days with no power supplied while the battery is
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page
179).
• See page 223 for information about battery life and number of shots.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• Entering the "ECO Mode" (page 172) enables low-power operation. Note that low-
power operation decreases monitor screen brightness.
• Enable the Auto Power Off (page 176) and the Sleep (page 176) features to protect
against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the camera.
• Select "Off" for "Continuous AF" (page 109).
Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the
Camera
The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the
display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly
will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.
IMPORTANT!
• A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if
you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display
language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under "Specifying the
Display Language (Language)" (page 180). Note that a version of this manual in
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the
Japanese market.
• Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language
selection.
