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 (page 28).

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

Take care to ensure that nothing is restricting or coming into contact with the lens as it extends. Holding the lens with your hand so it cannot extend creates the risk of malfunction.

About 10 seconds after you press [p] (PLAY) to enter the PLAY mode, the lens will retract into the camera.

The Sleep function or Auto Power Off (pages 107,

107)will turn off power automatically if you do not perform any operation for a preset amount of time.
