The normal battery power-level display always shows on the
Control panel, but it only shows in the Viewfinder when you
have Viewfinder warning display turned On. You won’t see

Viewfinder warn me when my camera’s battery is getting
low. I’d hate to be in the middle of an important shoot only to
have the camera die from lack of battery power. Don’t you
agree?

This display is accessed by pressing the camera’s Info button
twice. Pressing the Info button once only brings up a
summary display—you can’t edit anything. Pressing it twice

Custom setting bank.

press the Info button once. Figure 4-35, image 2, shows the
screen that appears when you press Info button twice. The
first screen is called the Information display screen, and I’ll
