Turning the Camera On and Off

To turn power on

To enter the REC mode, press [ON/OFF] (Power) or [r] (REC). To enter the PLAY mode, press [p] (PLAY). The back lamp will light (green) momentarily and the camera will turn on. If you are entering the REC mode, the lens will extend from the camera at this time.

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.

Pressing [p] (PLAY) while in the REC mode switches to the PLAY mode. The lens retracts about 10 seconds after switching modes.

The Sleep function or Auto Power Off (pages 158, 159) will turn off power automatically if you do not perform any operation for a preset amount of time.
