Checking Battery Status
You can determine the charge status of an inserted battery by viewing the
Battery icon on the Top Status LCD. When the icon blinks, you need to
replace the battery. The shutter locks when the icon blinks.
Conserving Batteries
Your camera has a battery save feature that does the following if you don’t
touch any digital buttons for a specified period of time:
• Turns off the Image LCD
• Turns off the meter
• Turns off the camera
NOTE: You can change the battery save time for the camera or Image LCD
(see
) or change the meter off time (see
).
To maximize battery performance, turn the camera off or remove the
battery when not in use.
