AUTO POWER OFF
In order to conserve battery power, the SD14 camera goes into a low-power
mode if not used for a predetermined amount of time. The Auto Power Off
timeout can be set using the Camera Set-up Menu to 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1
minute, 5 minutes, or Off. The default setting is 30 seconds.
TIP
• The VIEW and MENU buttons will not be active when the camera is in
low-power mode. This prevents the color LCD monitor from being
accidentally turned on and draining the battery while the camera is not being
used. To reactivate the VIEW and MENU buttons, simply press the shutter
halfway or turn the "D"-dial to another position and back; this will take the
camera out of low-power mode and allow you to perform all regular camera
functions.
• It will still be possible to take pictures while the camera is in low-power
mode. To take a picture simply press the shutter button half-way to activate
the exposure metering and autofocus mechanism, then press the shutter
fully to take the picture.
• The Auto Power Off timeout counter will not start until the color LCD monitor
is turned off, either manually or by the LCD Sleep timeout.
