Checking the Batteries
Check the battery power level in the Status Display before you begin taking
pictures. Don’t miss an important picture because the camera batteries are low
or exhausted.
1 Turn on the camera.
2 Check the battery symbol that appears in the
Status Display. If no symbol appears, your
battery is fully charged.
Low —batteries soon need to be
replaced or recharged.
Exhausted (blinking) —
batteries are too weak to power the camera.
Replace or recharge the batteries.
For guidelines on battery usage, see page 79.
