Displaying the Power Supply Voltage (Mode 3)
Change from mode 1 to mode 3 by pressing the
MODE button twice to show the current power supply
voltage in the lower line of the camera display.
Setting the Low Battery Warning
Voltage Level (Mode 3)
The voltage levels for the low battery warning shown in
camera display and viewfinder can be altered depending
on the type of battery in use. To change the voltage level:
Change from mode 1 to mode 3 by
•
pressing the MODE button twice.
Press SEL twice to change to the voltage level setting.
•
Press the SET button repeatedly until the desired
•
value is reached (values below 20 V cannot be set).
Repeat this procedure until all digits are set to the
•
desired values. A final confirmation is not necessary.
Note: For NiCd batteries, the voltage level should
be set to approximately 22 - 23 V. For Li-ion
batteries, a higher value of approximately
26 - 28 V should be used, as these batteries
sustain a high voltage level, but then have a
steeper discharge characteristic. These are only
approximate values as the actual voltage warning
level has to be identified by battery type, age
and capacity and by the desired safety reserve.
