lAvailable Functions in L (Auto) Mode

In L (auto) mode, macro close-up mode (c 31) and exposure compensation (c 32) can be applied and pictures can be taken using the flash (c 28) and self-timer (c 30). Pressing m in L (auto) mode displays the shooting menu. This menu allows you to specify the image mode (c 84), white balance setting (c 86), and to apply continuous shooting (c 88), BSS (c 90), ISO sensitivity (c 91), and color options (c 91) to suit shooting conditions or your own preferences.

l Auto Power off (Stand-by Mode)

If no operations are performed for about five seconds in shooting mode, the monitor will

 

gradually dim to save power. Full brightness can be restored by pressing the shutter-release

 

button or operating any of the controls next to the monitor. If no operations are performed

 

for about a minute, the monitor will turn off altogether and the camera will enter stand-by

 

mode, further reducing the drain on the battery (c 109). The camera will turn off automati-

 

cally if no operations are performed for another three minutes.
