Checking the Battery
In this section we provide a general
explanation of how to read and understand
the battery check display. When the battery
check shows that the batteries are low,
replace the batteries with fresh batteries,
or recharge the Ni-MH, Ni-Cd batteries or
the lithium polymer battery.
Before taking a trip, or before an important
shooting session, always check the battery
capacity.
Camera is switched on, but the control panel is not visible?
If the camera is not used for a specified time it will switch off the control panel automatically to
conserve battery power. To restore the camera to full operation, half-press the shutter button.
If the control panel remains off for one hour, the camera will power itself off automatically. To restore
the camera to full operation, you must use the power switch to switch the camera off and switch it
on again. You can select the time the camera remains idle before the control panel is switched off
automatically. (
