Olympus C-211 - Manual (Page 62)

Getting Ready
Entering PLAY Mode
1
Set the mode dial to PLAY ( ).
• The camera enters PLAY mode. Wait a few
seconds for the monitor to display the last
image that you took.
• If you haven’t taken any pictures at all, the
monitor displays the message NO
PICTURES.
• If there is a problem with the card, the
monitor will display an appropriate message
(see page 200).
• If batteries are running low, the icon
blinks red on the monitor.
If the camera is sleeping...
Under factory settings, the camera automatically enters sleep state and the monitor
goes dark if you do not touch any of the buttons for 30 seconds while the camera is
running on batteries only. You can restore full power by lightly touching the arrow pad
or moving the zoom lever. Note that you can select a different sleep time as described
on page 179.
If you do not touch the camera for about 4 hours after it has entered sleep state, the
camera shuts off all power. (Time to power-off may be somewhat longer if you are
using new batteries.) It is strongly recommended, however, that you switch the camera
off promptly when you are finished using it.
To turn off the camera...
Turn the mode dial to OFF. (See page 54.)

Chapter 3 Viewing, Printing, and Protecting Recorded Images
CAUTION
• Cutting off power to the SmartMedia card while processing is in progress may
permanently destroy the image data stored in the card. To keep your data safe,
always set the mode dial to OFF and be sure that the monitor and lamp have gone
dark before opening the card compartment, removing the batteries, or disconnecting
the AC adapter.
• Do not press on the monitor. Strong pressure will cause the image to ooze, and may
also crack or otherwise damage the monitor.
HELP
• When you first enter PLAY mode, the monitor may light up briefly and then take up to
2 seconds to display an image. This is not a problem.
