- 21 - First Steps: Checking the Battery Level
Checking the Battery Level
Before using your camera, you should check the battery level to
be sure that the batteries do not need to be replaced. To
check the battery level, turn the selector dial to M-REC, A-REC,
or PLAY. A battery indicator will appear in the control panel
on top of the camera. An identical indicator will appear in the
LCD monitor when camera settings are displayed. At critical
battery levels, a flashing battery icon will appear in the monitor
regardless of whether camera settings are currently displayed or
not.
Battery level normal
Low battery—replace batteries as soon as possible
Battery level critical—replace batteries before use
If nothing at all is showing in the control panel display, either the
batteries are not correctly installed or the batteries are dead.
Check to see that the batteries have been installed correctly. If
this does not solve the problem, insert new batteries and check
the battery level as shown above.
Note that the camera will not display the battery level correctly
if lithium, NiCd, or nickel hydride batteries are used, if the
batteries have been replaced with used batteries, or if the
batteries do not meet performance standards.
Note: At low battery levels, you may find that the camera will
not record images under some settings. There may also not be
enough power to charge the flash, in which case the flash will
automatically be set to “Off.” At critical levels, the camera will not
record a photograph when the shutter button is fully pressed.
