Setting the Idle Time for the Sleep Mode
When the camera is set in the P, A, S, or M shooting mode, if it remains idle for a
specified length of time, it will enter the sleep mode automatically and switch off the
monitor, control panel, and viewfinder displays to conserve the batteries. To restore the
camera to full operation, just half-press the shutter button or any other button. If the
camera remains idle in the sleep mode for 1 hour, then the camera will switch itself off.
Once the camera has switched itself off, you must switch it off and on again to restore
full operation.
Note
• After the camera enters the sleep mode, monitor and control panel go off.
• When the AC adapter is connected, the power does not switch off automatically.
• The camera does not enter the sleep mode while it is connected to a personal computer with the
USB cable.
