1: The camera turns off immediately
even when battery power is full.
The remaining battery power is low
even if new batteries are inserted.
• The remaining battery power may not
be displayed accurately, and the
camera may suddenly stop working,
when the type of battery and the
settings on [BATTERY TYPE] are not
identical. However this is not a
malfunction. Depending on the battery
brand and the operating temperature, or
if exhausted batteries are used, the
remaining battery power may not be
displayed accurately.
– Please check [BATTERY TYPE] (P20)
in the [SETUP] menu.

when it is turned on.

• Is power save mode (P20) or economy
mode (P21) activated?
– Press the shutter button halfway to
cancel these modes.
• Are the batteries exhausted?
– Replace them with batteries which
have sufficient capacity. (When you
use Ni-MH batteries, charge them.)
