Turning the Camera On

To turn the camera on, slide the ON/OFF switch down and then release it.

After being turned on, the camera performs a brief initial check of its internal systems and power supply. Once this check is complete, the control panel display will show the camera's current settings. The camera is now ready to take pictures.

Note: To increase the life of the batteries, the camera will automatically enter “sleep” mode if no operations are performed for sixteen seconds. In “sleep” mode only the battery level and date/time are displayed in the control panel. If no operations are performed for a further two minutes, the camera will turn itself off automatically. When in sleep mode, the camera can be reactivated by pressing the shutter release button down half way.

To turn the camera off, slide and release the ON/OFF switch as shown above.
