H-Series Power Management

Your H-Series camera is equipped with a power management system
that provides up to five hours of continuous operation and up to five
days of standby time between battery charges. To make the best use
of the camera and to assure it is always ready when you need it, it is
important to understand the basic power states of the camera.

The H-Series camera is designed to operate much like your cell phone:

It is rarely turned off unless you do not plan to use it for a few
days or more.

When near a power source or when not in use, you keep it on the
charger.

When the camera is turned on from the Off state, it takes about
90 seconds to become operational.

In Standby, it is always ready to go. Press the Power button and
the camera will come on in about two seconds.

It will automatically put itself in Standby to conserve the battery.

A red state LED located next to the display indicates the current power
state and can only be seen when the shuttered eyepiece is opened (for
example, when the camera is held up to the eye) or when the eyepiece
is removed as shown in the photograph below.
