Troubleshooting
The battery remaining indicator is incorrect, or sufficient battery remaining
indicator is displayed but the power runs out too quickly.
• This phenomenon occurs when you use the camera in an extremely hot or cold location (page
85).
• When using alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery (not supplied), the displayed time
remaining may not be correctly indicated.
• The batteries are discharged. Install new batteries or charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
(not supplied).
• When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries (not supplied), the poles of batteries or the
terminals of the battery cover are dirty so the batteries are not charged sufficiently. Clean
them with a cotton swab, etc. (page 85).
• When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries (not supplied), the displayed time remaining
differs from the current one due to the memory effect (page 85), etc. Fully discharge and then
charge the batteries to correct the display.
• The batteries are dead. Replace them with new ones.
