Checking the Battery Power
A battery icon appears in the built-in LCD display, to indicate the
approximate amount of charge remaining in the batteries. New
Alkaline Batteries generally provide enough charge for
approximately 2 hours of continuous operation, while new Lithium
L91 Batteries provide enough charge for approximately 6 hours of
operation.
Operating Time is based on a display set to minimum brightness
(night-time setting), and camera at room temperature.
Very Low or Very High temperatures, and Brightness Setting of the
Display, could reduce the expected time of operation by 50%.
Partially used alkaline batteries may not have enough energy to start
the camera, reducing total operating time.
If the camera is run until the batteries do not have enough power to operate
the camera, it closes the shutter, stops operating and displays a white screen.
A flashing blue screen may also be displayed. At this point, the batteries
should be replaced. If the optional external power adapter is used and the
batteries are depleted, they must be removed for the camera to operate
normally.
The battery icon is most accurate when using Alkaline batteries, and
slightly less accurate when using NiMh or Lithium batteries.
