Auto Power Off (Standby Mode)

If no operations are performed for one minute (default setting), the monitor will turn off automatically and the camera will enter standby mode to reduce the drain on the battery. While the camera is in standby mode, the Power-on Lamp will blink. If no op- erations are performed for three minutes after the camera enters standby mode, the power will turn off automatically and the Power-on Lamp will go out. The camera will be reactivated from standby mode when you:

Press the Power Switch

Press the Shutter-release Button halfway

Press the Button to view the last picture taken

Press the Button to display the menu for the current mode

Rotate the Mode Dial to select a new mode

The length of time before the camera enters standby mode can be changed using the Auto off option in the Set-up menu ( 129). However, when a menu is displayed, the monitor will turn off after three minutes, and when pictures are being shown in a slide show ( 105) or when the camera is powered by an AC adapter kit, the monitor will turn off after thirty minutes.

When connecting the camera to a computer or printer with a USB cable, Auto power off function does not work.

Sleep Mode

Turning sleep mode on will cause the camera to enter standby mode when there is no change in the brightness of the subject, even before the time selected in the Auto off option has elapsed ( 129).
