Auto O (Power Save)

By default, the SyncFocus will automatically turn o if no buttons or controls have been pressed for two
minutes. This helps save power and extend battery life when the camera is accidently left on. However, when
you are rst learning to use the camera you may want power to remain on (until you press ON/OFF) as you
get familiar with the features and controls. To do this, enter the main menu as described above in “Setting
the Date...”, highlight “Auto O”, press Enter, and select “Cancel”. Press Enter, then exit the menu as described
above.
