inserted in the camera.

Item

Description

Bat. meter

The current battery level expressed as a percentage.

Pic. meter

The number of times the shutter has been released with the
current battery since the battery was last charged. Note
that the camera may sometimes release the shutter without
recording a photograph, for example when measuring
preset white balance.

Calibration

This item is displayed only when the camera is powered by
an optional MB-D10 battery pack equipped with an EN-EL4a
or EN-EL4 battery (available separately).
• [j]: Due to repeated use and recharging, calibration is

required to ensure that battery level can be measured
accurately; recalibrate battery before charging.

• [—]: Calibration not required.

Charging life

A five-level display showing battery age. 0 (

k) indicates

that battery performance is unimpaired, 4 ([

l]) that the

battery has reached the end of its charging life and should
be replaced. Note that batteries charged at temperatures
under about 5 °C (41 °F) may show a temporary drop in
charging life; the charging life display will however return
to normal once the battery has been recharged at a
temperature of about 20 °C (68 °F) or higher.
