POWER SAVE
SET–UP
When the camera is in sleep mode, pressing the
shutter button down halfway brings the camera
back to full operational mode. This is a useful
feature as it allows you to take pictures more
quickly than switching the camera off and then
on again. You can also take a picture by pressing
the shutter button all the way down.
●
!
Operation can also be restored by pressing buttons
other than the shutter button.
