FOCUS SIGNAL
When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, an audio signal confirms the
AF system has focused. The focus signals can be changed or turned off in section 2 of
the setup menu (p. 72). Two tones are available.
SHUTTER FX
When the shutter is released, a shutter sound effect will give a positive confirmation of
the operation. The sound effect can be turned off in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 72).
Two shutter effects are available; signal 1 is mechanical and signal 2 is electrical. The
mechanical shutter sound was taken from the legendary Minolta CLE, a compact
rangefinder that represents the pinnacle of the development of the Leitz-Minolta CL.
VOLUME
The volume of the audio signals and shutter FX can be increased or decreased in section
2 of the setup menu (p. 72). This affects the camera’s audio signals only and will not
change the playback levels of an audio track.
AUTO POWER SAVE
To conserve battery power, the camera shuts down if an operation is not made within a
certain period. To restore power, press the shutter-release button or playback button. The
length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in section 2 of the setup menu (p.
72): 1, 3, 5, 10, and 30 minutes. The length of the auto-power-save period is fixed at 10
minutes when the camera is connected to a computer or PictBridge printer.
