3Set the power-off time/Auto power off

You can change this auto power-off time for the camera to turn off automatically after a certain period of non-operation. 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.

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

2 Set 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. (The camera’s power does not turn off.)
