Custom Setting 6: Monitor Off
This option controls whether the monitor stays on
for ten seconds (10 s), twenty seconds (20 s), one
minute (1 min.), five minutes (5 min.), or ten min-
utes (10 min.) when no operations are performed.
The default setting is 20 s. Note that the longer
the monitor remains on, the more often you will
need to recharge the battery.
Custom Setting 7: Auto Meter-Off
This option controls how long the camera contin-
ues to meter exposure when no operations are
performed. The exposure meter can be set to turn
off automatically after approximately four seconds
(4 s), six seconds (6 s), eight seconds (8 s), sixteen
seconds (16 s), or thirty minutes (30 min.). The
default setting is 6 s. Choose a shorter meter off
delay for longer battery life.
Custom Setting 8: Self-Timer
This option controls length of the delay from the
time the shutter release button is pressed to the
time the shutter is released in self-timer mode (
108). Shutter release can be delayed by approxi-
mately two (2 s), five (5 s), ten (10 s), or twenty
seconds (20 s). The default setting is 10 s.
