SHUTTER FX

A shutter sound effect gives positive audio confirmation when the shutter is released. The sound effects can be turned off in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 130). Two shutter effects are available. Signal 1 uses the shutter sound from the Dynax/Maxxum 9 SLR. Signal 2 uses a mechanical shutter sound taken from the legendary Minolta CLE.

VOLUME

The volume of the audio signals and sound effects can be increased or decreased in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 130). If the volume is turned off, the audio signals, focus signal, and shutter FX are disabled.

The camera will turn off the monitors to conserve battery power if no operation is made within a certain period. The length of this period can be changed to 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes. To restore power, press the shutter-release button partway down or press the main switch. When the camera is connected to the computer, the auto-power-save period is set to ten minutes. This period cannot be changed. Auto power save is set in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 130).

If an operation is not made within thirty minutes, the camera will shut down. Press the main switch to restore power.
