Preparing the Power Supply
Press the BATT. INFO button to display the remaining battery level indicator
(displays for 5 seconds). Depending on the battery life, the battery information
may not be displayed.
NOTES
The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the
camera until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time
will be displayed accurately.
Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the
battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A 182) or the battery information screen (press the
BATT. INFO button while the camera is turned off). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it will
give you a more accurate reading.
