Chapter 8: MENU mode/BATTERY SETUP menu
Using the "Power priority" item, you can set the power supply priority when you use both a
battery and the [DC IN] connector.
For example, if you set the prior power supply to "DC-IN", the battery can be backup power and
is used only when the "DC-IN" jack is cut off (power failure, disconnection, etc).
See "Battery setting examples" on pages 176 and 177 for the examples of power supply priority
setting.

Use the [MENU] dial to select the "Power priority" menu item and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The current setting starts flashing. You can now select the prior power supply.
<Note>:
When you set "Power priority" to "BATT" and batteries are mounted to both
the BATT1 and BATT2 mounts, if the battery power voltage of the prior battery
drops down to the threshold voltage for warning, the other battery automatically
becomes active. When a battery is mounted to either of the battery mounts, if the
battery power voltage of the priory battery drops down to the threshold voltage for
warning, the "DC-IN" power becomes active. When you set "Power priority" to "BATT",
if the battery power drops down and the power source changes from the battery to
the "DC-IN", the battery recovers temporarily, however, the power source do not
return to the battery. Note that if you replace the battery to the fully charged one,
the power source automatically switches back to the battery.
