The Setup Menu
Auto Off
Choose the time before the monitor turns off automatically to save power
from 30 seconds, 1 minute (the default setting), 5 minutes, or 30 minutes.
Regardless of the option chosen, the monitor will remain on for 3 minutes
when menus are displayed, and for 30 minutes when Loop is selected during
a slide show or the camera is powered by the supplied EH-63 AC adapter (if
the AC adapter is used when the video cable is connected, video output will
continue after the monitor has turned off). If the sliding lens cover is open,
the monitor can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-release button halfway,
pressing the
button to select playback mode, pressing the button to
display the camera menus, or by selecting another mode. If the lens cover is
closed, the camera will turn off and can only be reactivated by opening the
lens cover or pressing the
button to start playback.

deletes all data, including protected pictures and any other fi les that
may be present. Before formatting, be sure to transfer any valued pictures
to a computer (
