BATTERY CAPACITY

An icon appears on the top right corner of your Preview Screen, showing the amount of battery
power available.
 Once the battery indicator falls below 35% it is advisable to download the images to your

computer as quickly as possible so as not to lose them.

 Removing the batteries and replacing them with new ones also erases the images from the

camera’s memory.

HOW TO SAVE YOUR IMAGES WHEN THE BATTERIES RUN LOW

When the battery power is running low, the ‘Low Battery Power’ icon message appears on the
Preview Screen and then the camera automatically switches off. In this case you will need to
replace the camera’s batteries before continuing to take photos.
