The Setup Menu
Auto Off
Choose the time before the monitor turns off automatically to save power
from 30 seconds, 1 minute (the default setting), 5 minutes, or 30 minutes.
Regardless of the option chosen, the monitor will remain on for 3 minutes
when menus are displayed, and for 30 minutes when Loop is selected during
a slide show or the camera is powered by the supplied EH-63 AC adapter (if
the AC adapter is used when the video cable is connected, video output will
continue after the monitor has turned off). The monitor can be reactivated by
pressing the power switch, pressing the shutter-release button halfway, press-
ing the
button to select playback mode, pressing the button to display
the camera menus, or by selecting another mode. The camera will turn off
automatically if no operations are performed for another three minutes.

deletes all data, including protected pictures and any other fi les that
may be present. Before formatting, be sure to transfer any valued pictures
to a computer ( 46–49).
The following options will be displayed if a memory card is inserted:
