• The camera LCD displays “2” next to battery icon when drawing from the Battery BacPac.
• The camera LCD displays “1” when drawing from the internal battery.
• The Battery BacPac LCD displays the BacPac's charge level.
• The Battery BacPac LCD is blank when the BacPac is depleted.

• The camera LCD displays charge status of each battery: top row for Battery BacPac, bottom row for internal battery.
• The Battery BacPac LCD displays the BacPac's charge level.
• The Battery BacPac LCD is blank when the BacPac is depleted.
