lamp (green) blinks at 1-second intervals) to save
power if the camera is not used for approx. 30
seconds. If the camera remains unused for an
additional interval (2 minutes or 5 minutes), it is
automatically turned off. Use this function when you
want to get the maximum possible running time from
your batteries.

almost instantly.
