played for three seconds on the monitor when the camera is turned
on. The icon remains on the data panel.

This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the
battery-condition indicator appears on the data panel and monitor. If the data panel and monitor are
blank, the battery may be exhausted or installed incorrectly.
Auto power save
To conserve battery power, the camera will turn off displays and unnecessary functions if an opera-
tion is not made within a minute.The LCD monitor turns off after thirty seconds. To restore power,
press any button or key, or turn the mode dial to another position. Except for the thirty-second moni-
tor period, the length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in the basic section of the setup
menu (p. 98).
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The monitor icon is
red. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible. This warn-
ing automatically appears and remains on the monitor until the bat-
tery is changed. The monitor will turn off while the flash is charging to
save power. If power falls below this level, the battery-exhausted
message will be displayed just before the camera shuts down.
