Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a reliable brand.

After a preset time passes, the Auto off function (automatically turning the power off) works as follows.

Approx. one minute (default setting): The monitor turns off and the camera enters standby mode. The power-on lamp blinks.

The camera will be reactivated from standby mode when you press the shutter-release button halfway.

The length of time before the camera enters the standby mode can be specified from the auto off menu (c 97).
