Power saving modes and auto power off
This camera features a three-stage power saving function, which works as follows if no operation is attempted for the times shown while the power is on.
•Approx. five seconds: The monitor brightness will be reduced to about 50% nor- mal brightness.
•Approx. one minute (default setting): The monitor turns off and the camera enters standby mode. The power-on lamp blinks. The camera can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. (The length of time before entering the standby mode can be changed.)
•Approx. three minutes after the camera has entered standby mode: The cam- era will turn off.
EN-MH1 Batteries
Charge EN-MH1 batteries before first use. Charge and use as a set: do not charge batteries one at a time or mix batteries from different pairs. Note that the batteries may tend to discharge more quickly when new or after a long period of disuse. The batteries will retain a charge longer once they have been used and recharged several times. “Memory” effects that result in reduced battery capacity can be avoided by periodically refreshing the batteries as described in the Appendix (
94).
