Enabling Power Saving (Eco Mode)

Enabling power saving reduces the brightness of the monitor screen and switches other camera operations to low-power operation, which allows a charge to last longer and increase the number of images that can be shot between charges.

The Eco Mode can be enabled only while Auto is selected as the recording mode (page 31).

1.Press [ECO].

This enters the Eco mode, which is indicated by e on the monitor screen.

•Each press of [ECO] toggles the Eco mode between on and off.

NOTE

•Changing the mode dial setting while the Eco mode is “On” will turn the Eco mode “Off” automatically and change the recording mode to the current mode dial selection.

•You can achieve even greater power savings by using the Eco mode in combination with Auto Power Off (page 147) and Sleep (page 147).
