Power
You can also check battery power by lightly pressing the Shutter Release button. If the
batteries are functioning properly, pressing this button activates the exposure meter, the
Camera Status LCD panel, and the viewfinder indications. Autofocusing also begins
unless the camera is set for manual focus.
Without the flash, if you remove your finger from the Shutter Release button, the LCD
readouts go off approximately 2 seconds after the shutter is released. When the built-in
flash or a Speedlight is activated, the LCD readouts stay on approximately 8 seconds after
the shutter is released.
Battery Tips
✔ Do not use more than one type of battery at the same time.
✔ Do not use batteries with different charge levels at the same time. Replace all
batteries at the same time and with the same brand.
✔ Batteries should be removed from the camera and carrier if the camera will be idle
for five or more days. This will prevent battery discharge, and/or damage due to
battery leakage.
✔ There is an error message that says: “Unable to take pictures. Batteries low.
Batteries may recover with time.”
This message means the charge in the batteries has dropped below the level needed
to capture another image. It will appear when your batteries are exhausted and
must be replaced or recharged. It may also appear after you have captured a rapid
burst of several images. The burst of images may draw down the battery level, but
after a period of inactivity, the batteries may recover and still be usable for
capturing another 100 images. Do not assume that you batteries have to be replaced
because you see this message one time.
