Battery life is dependent on a number of variable factors and therefore cannot be exactly
predicted, though the throughput of up to 2,500 exposures should be expected. If the camera
is le in the active state instead of standby for long periods then naturally this figure will be
reduced. However, a low-battery state is indicated as a symbol on the grip LCD. When the
batteries are almost completely exhausted, a warning message ‘Low battery’ will appear on
the grip LCD. e camera will not function at all when this message appears and battery
change is essential.
e rechargeable battery pack is an optional accessory that replaces the standard battery
cassette. Please see specific user manual supplied with the rechargeable battery pack for
further information.
