Recording is not possible when is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about 30 days with no power supplied while the battery is
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page
100).
• See page 130 for information about battery life and number of shots.
• Battery power is used up more quickly when “On” is selected for the Anti Shake
setting (page 60). In this case, the camera may turn off even though the battery
level indicator is still amber. Recharge the battery more often than normal when
Anti Shake is enabled.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting
(page 37).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 101, 102).
