Auto Off
When operated on battery power, the
camera enters sleep mode if no opera-
tions are performed for thirty seconds
(three minutes when menus are dis-
played). The time limit for sleep mode
can be chosen from the Auto Off menu.
The time limit for playback is independent of the time limit for
A-REC and M-REC, and is set by choosing Auto Off from the
playback setup menu. The time limit for A-REC and M-REC
can be set by choosing Auto Off from either of the A-REC or
M-REC setup menus.

AUTO OFF
In sleep mode, all camera functions are deactivated and the camera itself is
effectively off, consuming almost no power. The camera can be reactivated
by pressing the MONITOR button or by pressing the shutter-release but-
ton halfway.
While the camera is being powered by the AC adapter (available sepa-
rately), the camera will remain on for thirty minutes if no operations are
performed, regardless of the setting in the Auto Off menu. If the camera
is connected to a television set, the television display will remain on indefi-
nitely after the LCD monitor has turned off.
File Numbering
Photographs taken with the COOLPIX
990 are stored as image files. Each file is
assigned a name consisting of “DSCN”
plus a four-digit number assigned auto-
matically by the camera. Although no two
photographs in a single folder will have the same file name,
photographs in different folders may share the same name, caus-
ing confusion when the files are copied to a computer. This
can be prevented using the options in the Seq. Numbers sub-
menu.
