played for three seconds when the camera is on or switched

next to the viewfinder will turn red and blink for three seconds. The
shutter will not release. The battery must be recharged.

should be replaced as soon as possible. This warning automatical-
ly appears and remains on the monitor until the battery is
recharged. If the power level falls below this level when the cam-
era is on, the battery-exhausted message will appear just before
the camera shuts down.

off period is set to ten minutes and cannot be changed.
