dark when the camera is not used for about 10
seconds. When the camera is not used for another
20 seconds, this function automatically turns the
LCD monitor off (sleep) to reduce power
consumption (the viewfinder lamp (green) blinks at
1-second intervals). If the camera remains unused
for an additional interval of 2 minutes, the Power
save function automatically turns the camera off.
Use this function when you want to conserve battery
power.
