The camera’s power is switched on when the shutter release mode
selector is set to S, C or M.UP. In order to prevent the camera’s batteries
from discharging, sleep mode is automatically entered if no operations
are performed for a specic period of time while the power is ON (with
exposure metering status maintained).
In sleep mode, operating the shutter button or a function setting button
restores power ON status.
In sleep mode, the external LCD screens are not active, only the marks
shown in the gure are displayed. (These marks appear in program AE
mode.)
