Choose the time before the monitor turns off automatically to save power from 30 seconds, 1 minute (the default setting), 5 minutes, or 30 minutes. Regardless of the option chosen, the monitor will remain on for 3 minutes when menus are displayed, and for 30 minutes when Loop is selected during a slide show or the camera is powered by the supplied EH-63 AC adapter (if the AC adapter is used when the video cable is connected, video output will continue after the monitor has turned off). If the sliding lens cover is open, the monitor can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-release button halfway,

pressing the button to select playback mode, pressing the button to display the camera menus, or by selecting another mode. If the lens cover is closed, the camera will turn off and can only be reactivated by opening the lens cover or pressing the button to start playback.
