Power
e camera can be set at two active power modes ON or Standby as well as OFF. In active modes,
battery consumption is least in Standby mode and most in ON mode. e camera enters
Standby mode automatically aer 15 seconds (default) to preserve battery consumption but
this interval can be changed in Custom Options. Settings can only be made when the camera
is in the ON mode.
ON
To activate the camera press the red ON.OFF button until you see the start-up H1D logo appear
on the grip LCD. e logo is automatically followed by the standard screen. e camera is
now in ON mode.
Aer a set period of inactivity (programmable in Custom Options) the camera automatically
enters Standby mode, signalled by the appearance of the H1D logo again.
Standby
In this mode the camera is in a mainly inactive ‘standby’ mode and is ready to be immediately
reactivated to the ON mode by:
• pressing the shutter release button half way
• pressing the stop down button
• clicking the ON.OFF button
• pressing the Mirror up button.
In this mode, signalled by the standby H1D logo appearing on the grip LCD, the demand
on the batteries is very low. It is ideal for general use where intervals between shots exceed
a few seconds.
