26 Inserting the Battery and Memory Cards
Battery Level
• The battery level is shown in the shooting display while the camera
is on.
• The battery level display changes as the battery level diminishes,
from L through K to H. When the battery level falls to H,
suspend shooting and charge the battery or ready a spare battery.
• If the message [Shutter release disabled. Recharge battery.] is
displayed, charge or exchange the battery.
D The Standby Timer
The camera uses a standby timer to help reduce the drain on the
battery. If no operations are performed for about 30 seconds, the
standby timer will expire and the monitor, viewfinder, and control
panel will turn off. A few seconds prior to turning off, the monitor and
viewfinder will dim. They can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-
release button halfway. The length of time before the standby timer
expires automatically can be selected using Custom Setting c3 [Power
off delay] > [Standby timer].
