User's Manual

1.2 DISPLAY GRAPHICS
The camera is equipped with an advanced microprocessor based control and
user warning system. In addition to controlling the automatic operation of the
camera to ensure the best possible picture at all times, the control system
provides graphics on the display to alert the user to certain conditions as follows:
. Battery Status
The battery status indicator is always visible at the lower left side of the display,
except during the start up/self-test routine. See Charger and Battery section for
operation details.
. Over-temperature Warning
As the circuitry within the camera approache s its maximum designed operating
temperature, a warning symbol in the shape of a thermometer will appear to the
right of the battery status indicator. The camera will continue to operate at this
temperature but the user may see some degradation of the image quality.
If the user ignores this warning and continues to operate the camera in very high
temperatures, a flashing temperature warning statement will appear on the
screen.
When the temperature warning statement is present, the camera is very
close to its ab solute operating limit and the image will start to degrade
considerably. The user must remove the unit from the high ambient
temperature at this time; failure to comply may result in permanent
damage to the unit.
