Turning the Camera Off

To turn the camera off, press the power switch again. The camera is off when the
power-on lamp is off. Do not remove the batteries or memory card or disconnect the
optional AC adapter until the power-on lamp has gone out.

Auto Power off (Stand-by Mode)

If no operations are performed for about fi ve seconds, the monitor will gradually dim
to save power. Full brightness can be restored by pressing the shutter-release button
or operating any of the controls next to the monitor. If no operations are performed
for about a minute, the monitor will turn off and the camera will enter stand-by mode,
further reducing the drain on the battery (

monitor can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. The camera
will turn off automatically if no operations are performed for another three minutes.
