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.)
