checking the battery pack
1 install the battery pack (see page 27).

the remaining charge in the battery pack is displayed in the mode display panel.
when the battery pack becomes low on charge, the remaining amount will also be displayed in the lcd monitor or viewfinder.
display of remaining charge
the amount of time a fully charged battery pack will last will depend on factors such as your use of the flash, your use of the lcd monitor, the ambient temperature, and other shooting conditions. for ambient temperatures below 10°c, the rate the charge decreases is especially fast. therefore, even the same battery pack may allow different number of images to be captured under different conditions.
before using the digital disk camera for important situations (e.g. wedding or when traveling) or in cold environments, it is recommended to take a spare battery pack with you as a precaution.
for ambient temperatures below 10°c, it is recommended to keep the battery pack warm by placing it in your pocket or some other warm location.
help
if the lcd monitor goes off suddenly
when using the lcd monitor with the battery pack charge about half full, the lcd monitor may turn off momentarily after an image is captured. this is to allow a quick recharge of the flash.
when the flash has been recharged, the lcd monitor will come back on automatically.
checking the remaining disk space
1 insert the disk (see page 30).
2 turn on the digital disk camera (see page 32).
