ETTING UP AND RUNNING
Battery condition indicator
Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. This icon
is displayed for three seconds on the monitor when the
camera is turned on. The icon remains on the data panel.
Blinking low-battery warning - displayed on the data panel
with no other icons; power is insufficient for camera
operation. The shutter will not release.
Low-battery indicator - battery power is low. The battery
should be replaced as soon as possible. The monitor will turn
off while the flash is charging to save power.
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera
is on, the battery-condition indicator appears on the data panel and monitor. If the data
panel and monitor are blank, the battery may be exhausted or installed incorrectly. The AC Adapter AC-6 allows the camera to be powered from an electrical household
outlet. The AC Adapter is recommended when the camera is interfaced with a computer
or during periods of heavy use.
Always turn off the camera before
changing between power supplies.
Connecting the AC adapter (sold separately)
Auto power save
To conserve battery power, the camera will turn off displays and unnecessary functions
if an operation is not made within a minute. The LCD monitor turns off after thirty
seconds. To restore power, press any button or key, or turn the mode dial to another
position. Except for the thirty-second monitor period, the length of the auto-power-save
period can be changed in the basic section of the setup menu (p. 98).

below this level, the battery-exhausted message will be
displayed just before the camera shuts down.
