Electronic equipment, display control method, recording medium and program
First Claim
1. Electronic equipment supplied with power from a battery mounted therein comprising:
- reception means for receiving battery power information from a battery, storage means for storing first expected power information;
judgement means for judging whether there is any shift to a state where the power consumption amount under operating state is varied;
read-out means for reading out the first expected power information from the storage means when it is judged by the judgement means that the operating state is shifted to the state where the power consumption amount is varied;
calculation means for calculating a battery residual amount on the basis of the battery power information received by the reception means and the first expected power information read out from the read-out means; and
display control means for controlling display of the battery residual amount calculated by the calculation means.

Abstract
A communication portion of a video camera receives expected power information of a printer from the printer, and also receives battery power information from a battery pack. When a microcomputer judges that there is any shift to a state where the power consumption amount under operating state is varied, that is, the printer is under a print standby state for printing operation, an operating portion reads out expected power information of the video camera under operation of the printer which is stored in advance is read out from the storage portion to calculate the expected power consumption amount of a video camera system under the operation of the printer on the basis of the expected power information of the printer received by the communication portion and the expected power information of the video camera read out, and the battery residual amount time is determined on the basis of the expected power consumption amount.
