Switch the camera on and check the battery charge indicator.
1There is ample charge in the batteries.
2The batteries are low on charge and will run out shortly. You should replace the batteries.
3The batteries are fully depleted. You must replace the batteries. The display switches off and
the camera stops operating, after which the display lights again.
Loss of power while an image is being saved will prevent the image from being saved successfully.
Take note of the battery level when you are taking shots where image saving will take some time
(continuous shooting or when the quality is set to “HIGH”).

Lithium batteries CR123A Power functions such as auto focus,
aperture, mirror and shutter operation,
and charge the flash.
The camera will not switch on.
You can take pictures using only the four AA-size Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride batteries), but the
built-in flash cannot be used. When you are using only the four AA-size Ni-MH batteries, remove
the used lithium batteries from the camera.
The time for which the camera can be used is shorter, and as far as possible this should only be
used as an emergency measure. Note that the displays on the top and rear display panels both
function as battery level indicators for the AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
✽ When you are taking pictures in locations where you think you will have difficulty purchasing lithium batteries, it is a
good idea to take along some spare lithium batteries or carry some fully charged Ni-MH batteries for emergencies.
✽ The camera cannot be used just with alkaline batteries.
If you leave the camera switched on without using it, this function automatically switches the
camera off (➡P.98).
If the Auto Power Off function has shut down the camera, restore power to the camera by pressing
the shutter button down halfway or pressing the LCD illuminator button. A small amount of battery
charge is consumed even when Auto Power Off has shut down the camera.
