ETTING UP AND RUNNING
Battery-condition indicator
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator displayed on the LCD monitor.
The icon will change from white to red when battery power is low.
Auto power off
To conserve battery power, the camera will shut down if an operation is not made within three min-
utes. To restore power, press the main switch. The length of the auto-power-off period can be
changed in the setup 1 section of the recording and playback-mode menu (p. 28, 58). When the cam-
era is connected to a computer, the auto-power-off period is set to ten minutes and cannot be
changed.

Full-battery icon - the battery is fully charged. This icon is displayed for three
seconds when the camera is on or switched between the recording or play-
back mode.
Half-full-battery icon - the battery is partially charged. This icon is displayed
for three seconds. The LCD monitor will turn off when the flash is charging.
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The battery should be
replaced as soon as possible. This warning automatically appears and
remains on the monitor until the battery is recharged. If the power level falls
below this level when the camera is on, the battery-exhausted message will
appear just before the camera shuts down.
If power is insufficient for camera operation, the indicator lamp next to the
viewfinder will turn red and blink for three seconds. The shutter will not
release. The battery must be recharged.
