nikon d90 battery display

System

i've looked in the manual and cannot seem to find the answer, my camera no longer displays the battery icon thing'ie at

the top of the camera -> you know the one that show how much battery life you have.

is all i have found is if the d12 setting is set to the actual nikon battery then it is supposed to show. so i don't

know where i mucked up or what i have changed to have it vanish, but i miss not knowing how much life my battery has.

any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

I believe it can take a little time and camera use for the battery health to register. Take a few shots and wait a few seconds and see if it doesn't display.

Are you using a non nikon battery then? Becasue nikon batteries have a small microchip on their batteries to help regulate it and perhaps this chip is needed for the display as well.

Also, there is a known issue with the battery grip giving false low battery indications. When I put the grip on my D90, I am always sure to reach into the battery compartment and give the middle terminal a little pull towards the center.
