Turning the Camera Off
To turn the camera off, press the power switch again. The camera is off when the
power-on lamp is off. Do not remove the battery or memory card or disconnect the AC
adapter until the power-on lamp has gone out.
Auto Power off (Stand-by Mode)
If no operations are performed for about fi ve seconds in shooting mode, the monitor
will gradually dim to save power. Full brightness can be restored by pressing the shut-
ter-release button or operating any of the controls next to the monitor. If no operations
are performed for about a minute, the monitor will turn off altogether and the camera
will enter stand-by mode, further reducing the drain on the battery ( 79). The camera
will turn off automatically if no operations are performed for another three minutes.
