The battery level is low and the battery will
need to be changed soon.
The power of the battery is insufficient,
replace the battery immediately.
AUTO POWER OFF
To conserve the batteries, the camera has several power-saving features. After six
seconds of non-operation certain camera systems automatically shut down: the
shutter speed and aperture value disappear from the top LCD panel, the display in
the viewfinder turns off, and some buttons no longer work (however, it is still be
possible to review images or change menu settings on the color LCD monitor). Press
the shutter button halfway to reactivate the camera. To prevent the shutter from being
accidentally released, turn the D-dial to the OFF position whenever the camera is
not in use.
Additionally, if the color LCD monitor is not used for a set amount of time, the camera
goes into a low-power mode. The VIEW and MENU buttons are not active when the
camera is in low-power mode. This feature prevents the color LCD from being
accidentally turned on and draining the batteries while the camera is not being used.
To reactivate the VIEW and MENU buttons, press the shutter button halfway. For
more information see p.107.
