Checking the Current Battery Level
As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates its
current level as shown below.
indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
indicates that the battery is about to go dead. Charge the battery immediately.
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about 8 days with no power supplied while the battery is
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page
105).
• See page 150 for information about battery life and number of shots.
