Depending on the camera mode and the type of batteries used, the transition from “C” to “V” may occur more
quickly.

Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold
locations. This is normal. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.
✽ Battery level warning
1) The camera’s estimation of the remaining battery charge varies greatly depending on the camera operation mode.
Consequently, even if “
C” or “V” is not displayed in Playback mode, one of them may appear when you change
to Photography mode.
2) Depending on the battery type and the level of charge in the batteries, the camera may run out of power without first
displaying a battery level warning. This is particularly likely to happen when batteries that have run out of charge
once are re-used.
In situation 2), immediately load new or fully charged replacement batteries.
Turn the camera on and check the battery charge.
Checking the battery charge
“C” appears as a small icon on the right-hand
side of the LCD monitor. “V” appears as a large
icon on the LCD monitor.

When this function is active, it turns off the LCD monitor (sleep mode) to reduce power consumption if
the camera is not used for 60 seconds (➡P.81). If the camera is then left unused for 2 or 5 minutes, the
power save function turns the camera off. To turn the camera back on, press the “POWER” button.
