7.4 Power Management
The Power Management menu option has three criteria to help preserve
battery life and help keep operating temperatures low when working in hot
conditions. (See below and page 85 for more details).
Display O Time
Switch o the IQ’s display screen after 5 seconds, 20 seconds, 1 minute, 5
minutes. The display can also be set to remain permanently on while the IQ
is in operation with the Always On option.
Battery Charging
The IQ back has an integrated battery charger to ensure that the battery
is charged when shooting tethered via a USB or FireWire connection.
This function can be switched o or set to Slow or Fast. The Slow and O
settings should be chosen to preserve the battery life of a laptop when
shooting tethered.
N.B. The battery will only charge via a USB or FireWire connection when the
IQ back is switched on. Only after it has been switched on, will it continue
to charge when it is turned o. Battery charging is indicated by an orange
LED on the rear of the IQ back when it has been turned o.
Auto Power Down
Auto Power Down determines the amount of time before the IQ back shuts
down, when there is no activity. Choose 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2
hours or deactivate this function by selecting O.
Press the Power button to switch on and restart the IQ back after it has shut
down.
