CHECKING THE BATTERY POWER
Your camera is equipped with an automatic battery-power indicator. Each time the main
switch is turned on, a symbol will appear in the data panel to indicate the power status of the
batteries. It is recommended that you always carry spare batteries in your camera bag.
If no display appears, replace the batteries or check that they are inserted
correctly.
If the blinking low-battery symbol appears in the data panel with the other
indicators, you can still use the camera, but the batteries will need to be replaced
soon.
If the blinking low-battery symbol appears alone; the shutter will lock until the
batteries are replaced.
The full-battery symbol indicates that power is sufficient for all camera
operations.
• To save power, your camera will automatically shut off if it is not operated for more than three minutes.

all camera operations. Please read all warnings in the Safety
