Troubleshooting
The battery remaining indicator is incorrect, or sufficient battery remaining
indicator is displayed but the power runs out too quickly.
• This phenomenon occurs when you use the camera in an extremely hot or cold location.
• When using alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery (sold separately), the displayed
time remaining may not be correctly indicated.
• The batteries are discharged. Insert new batteries or charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
(sold separately).
• When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, the poles of batteries or the terminals of the
battery cover are dirty so the batteries are not charged sufficiently. Clean them with a cotton
swab, etc. (page 97).
• When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, the displayed time remaining differs from the
current one due to the memory effect (page 97), etc. Fully discharge and then charge the
batteries to correct the display.
• The batteries are dead. Replace them with new ones.
