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:
A
AWB
Batteries are fully
charged.
Battery power is
not full, but it is still
sufficient for camera
operations.
Battery power is
running low. Prepare
a fresh set of
batteries.
U
N
E
Battery power is low.
Replace or recharge
(rechargeable
batteries only) as soon
as possible.
A
AWB
Batteries are flat.
Replace them
immediately.
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
A
corrosion or battery leakage.
