The screen that was displayed before selecting the menu appears again.
• If batteries are inserted into both the body and grip, the battery levels of both
are checked when the power is turned on. Regardless of the [Select Battery]
setting, both batteries are slightly used.
• When the currently selected battery runs out as a result of the check, the
message [Battery depleted] appears on the monitor. Turn the camera off and
on again, and the camera will switch to the remaining battery.
• You can check the battery usage condition on the status screen and LCD
panel. (p.52)
When the type of AA batteries inserted in the battery grip differs from the
battery type setting in Step 5, the battery level will not be correctly determined.
Please set the correct battery type. Usually, there is no problem using [Auto-
detect]. However in low temperatures and when using batteries that were
stored for long periods of time, set the appropriate battery type so the camera
can correctly determine the remaining battery level.
