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.

◆To restore power to the camera ◆

The Sleep function does not operate when the LCD monitor is switched off or when
the camera is in Setup or Playback mode. However, if the camera controls are not
used for some time (2 minutes or 5 minutes), the camera automatically switches off.
If the camera has been automatically switched off, switch it back on by moving the
Power switch to the OFF position 1briefly and then back to ON 2.
Once you enable this function, the monitor is
temporarily switched off to reduce power
consumption (Sleep mode)if the camera is not
used for about 30 seconds. If the camera is then
left unused for a further time (2 minutes or 5
minutes), it is automatically switched off. Use
this function when you want to get the maximum
possible running time from the battery.

Power Save is disabled when the camera is connected
