POWER SAVE

SET–UP

Once you enable this function, the screen is
temporarily switched off to save power if you do
not use the camera for 30 seconds. Use this
function to gain the maximum possible run time
from your batteries.

The charging time for the flash increases slightly
because the flash charging power is reduced.
When the Power Save function is operating,
press the shutter button down halfway to return
the camera to the ready-to-shoot status. This is
a useful feature as it allows you to take pictures
more quickly than switching the camera off and
then on again.

When the Power Save function is operating,
pressing the shutter button down fully returns the
camera to the ready-to-shoot status and takes the
picture.

The camera does not automatically switch off when
a USB connection is being used.

Operation can also be restored by pressing buttons
other than the shutter button.

mode, the camera still switches off automatically
if the camera controls are not used for 2
minutes.
