Selecting a Battery

Auto Select

Priority is given to the battery with the most remaining power.

Body First/Grip First Priority is given to the selected battery.

• If the battery is 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, [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 detailed information

display in Capture mode. (p.24)
