Power Saving Function (Auto Power Down)

The graph that appears in “Detailed Information Display” (p. 44) is called the histogram. The histogram shows the distribution of brightness in an image horizontally, and the amount of brightness vertically. When the graph approaches the right side, the image is bright, but when it approaches the left side, the image is dark, and in this way you can judge the exposure.

Power Saving Function (Auto Power Down)

To save battery power, the camera shuts down automatically when it is not operated for a certain time.

Power Saving during Shooting

The screen will turn off approximately 1 minute after the camera is last operated. After about 2 more minutes, the lens will retract and the power will turn off. When the screen has turned off but the lens has not yet retracted, pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 23) turns on the screen and shooting can continue.

Power Saving during Playback

The power will turn off approximately 5 minutes after the camera is last operated.

• You can turn off the Power Saving Function (p. 119).

• You can adjust the time before the screen turns off (p. 120).
