When operated on battery power, the camera enters sleep mode CONCEPT if no action is performed for thirty seconds (three minutes when menus are displayed). Auto Off allows you to specify a new time

limit for sleep mode. Two time limits can be set, one for playback and the other for shooting photos (A-REC and M-REC).

Specify a new time limit by following these steps:

and use the zoom buttons (▲▼) to highlight AUTO OFF.

 

 

Alternatively, you can highlight AUTO OFF in the M-REC setup

 

menu, which is displayed when SET UP is chosen from the M-

 

REC menu (see “The M-REC Menu,” below).

Tip

When the camera enters sleep mode, all camera functions are deactivated and the camera itself is effectively off, consuming almost no power. The camera can be reactivated using the MONITOR button or by pressing the shutter button half way.

To return to the previous menu without formatting the card, highlight NO or BK and press the shutter-release button. Press the MENU button to return to shooting or playback mode without formatting the memory card.
