	REC menu (see “The M-REC Menu,” below).

Tip

When the camera enters sleep mode, all camera functions are deactivated and the camera itself is effectively off, consuming almost no power. The camera can be reactivated using the MONITOR button or by pressing the shutter button half way.

To return to the previous menu without formatting the card, highlight NO or BK and press the shutter-release button. Press the MENU button to return to shooting or playback mode without formatting the memory card.
