No Battery
When the battery is exhausted or no battery is inserted, the display in the viewfinder will 
dim. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. The viewfinder display will return 
to normal when a fully-charged battery is inserted.
D
The Viewfinder Display
Owing to the characteristics of this type of viewfinder display, you may notice fine lines 
radiating outward from the selected focus point. This is normal and does not indicate a 
malfunction.
D
The Viewfinder
The response time and brightness of the viewfinder display may vary with temperature.
