Before You Start

3Set the Power-off Time/Auto Power Off

To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after a certain time of non-operation.

You can change this auto power-off time.

If you do not want the camera to turn off automatically, set this to [Off]. After the power turns off, you can turn on the camera again by pressing the shutter button or other button.

1Select [Auto power off].

Under the [5] tab, select [Auto power off], then press <0>.

2Set the desired time.

Turn the <5> dial to select the item, then press <0>.

Even if [Off] has been set, the LCD monitor will turn off automatically after 30 min. to save power. Also, during Live View shooting, the Live View screen will turn off automatically after 30 min. (The camera’s power will not turn off.)

3Formatting the Memory Card

If the memory card is new or was previously formatted by another camera or personal computer, format the card with the camera.

When the memory card is formatted, all images and data in the card will be erased. Even protected images will be erased, so make sure there is nothing you need to keep. If necessary, transfer the images to a personal computer, etc., before formatting the card.

1 Select [Format].

Under the [5] tab, select [Format], then press <0>.
