Auto Power Off in Shooting Mode (Standby Mode)
If no operations are performed for about five seconds in shooting mode, the monitor will dim to
save power. Using any of the camera controls will reactivate the display. If no operations are
performed for about a minute (default setting), the monitor will turn off automatically and the
camera will enter standby mode. If no operations are performed for another three minutes, the
camera will turn off automatically (the auto off function).
If the monitor is off in standby mode, press the power switch or the shutter-release button to
reactivate it.
• The time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode can be changed from the
Auto off option ( A 112) in the setup menu (A 112).
• When monitor brightness is set to the maximum level by pressing the c button (A 23), the
monitor will not dim, even if no operations are performed.
