CHECKING THE BATTERY POWER LEVEL

The battery power level indicator represents the level of power of the batteries. The meaning of each icon is as

follows:

Note:

• The camera’s battery level indicator may not accurately reflect the actual power condition of the

rechargeable batteries, even if they have been fully recharged. This is an inherent problem with

rechargeable batteries, which is not related to the performance of the camera. For better performance,

Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are recommended.

• Be sure to remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period of time to prevent

corrosion or battery leakage.

TURNING THE LCD/ICONS ON OR OFF
