11 First Steps : Turning the Camera On
Turning the Camera On
To turn the camera on, slide the ON/OFF switch down and then release it.
After being turned on, the camera performs a brief initial check of its internal
systems and power supply. Once this check is complete, the control panel
display will show the camera's current settings. The camera is now ready to
take pictures.
Note: To increase the life of the batteries, the camera will automatically
enter “sleep” mode if no operations are performed for sixteen seconds. In
“sleep” mode only the battery level and date/time are displayed in the control
panel. If no operations are performed for a further two minutes, the camera
will turn itself off automatically. When in sleep mode, the camera can be
reactivated by pressing the shutter release button down half way.
To turn the camera off, slide and release the ON/OFF switch as shown above.
