Nore: Frequent use of the flash, or exposure meter, AF motor,
etc. (activated by lightly pressing the shuuter release button) may weaken
the battery faster than indicated above.

8 sec. after finger is removed from the button; batter power is
insufficient if these indications turns off immediately after finger is
removed from the button; if LCD blinks and shutter does not operate,
