zPower saving

The function for saving the battery power can be set to On or Off here.

On (default setting)

Battery power consumption is reduced.

•If no operations are performed for fifteen seconds when the auto off is set to [30s] and sleep mode is [On] (A86), the monitor turns off and the power-on lamp blinks.*

•Monitor turns off after the picture is taken with flash until the flash is completely charged.*

•Monitor brightness is automatically adjusted to darker level than that when set to “Off”, which saves power consumption.

Off

Power saving is disabled.

* When the battery level is low, the power saving is available even if it is set to “Off”.

dProtect

Protect selected pictures from accidental deletion. Note, however, that formatting the camera’s internal memory or the memory card will permanently erase protected files (A87).

See “Selecting Multiple Pictures” (A74) for more information on using this function.

Protected pictures are recognized by the sicon (A7) in full-frame playback mode and the erase selected images screen, and by the aicon (A42) in 4-picture or 9-picture thumbnail playback mode.
