Turning the Camera On and Off

.To turn power on

Pressing [ON/OFF] (Power) enters the REC mode so you can record images. Pressing [p] (PLAY) while in the REC mode enters the PLAY mode, which you can use to view snapshots and movies (pages 28, 65).

Pressing [p] (PLAY) turns on the camera and enters the PLAY mode.

Pressing [r] (REC) while in the PLAY mode returns to the REC mode.

The Sleep function or Auto Power Off (pages 97, 98) will turn off power automatically if you do not perform any operation for a preset amount of time.
