EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens. Figures in parentheses
are the number of 36-exposure rolls.
Information on battery life with Power Drive
Booster PB-E2 or E1 and Battery Pack BP-E1 is
provided in the respective instruction booklet.
' If the < © > is set to < ON > and nothing is displayed on the LCD panel, the
battery may have been installed incorrectly. Take out the battery and install
correctly. Then check the battery level again.
■ Since actual shooting conditions may differ, the actual number of rolls may be
less than the figures in the table.
■ Pressing the shutter button halfway for prolonged periods or frequent
autofocusing without taking any pictures will lower the number of rolls that can
be taken.
When the camera is not to be used, set the < © > to < OFF >. This will prevent
accidental battery drainage if the shutter button is held down inadvertently.
The battery level is indicated each time the < © > is turned on. To check the
current battery level, turn on the <©> again.
