Basic Camera Setup: The Setup Menu

kAuto Off

If no operations are performed for the selected length of time, the monitor will turn off and the camera enters standby mode (A15) to reduce drain on the batteries.

To exit from standby mode, press the power switch or the shutter-release button. Choose the time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode if no operations are performed from 30s, 1m (default setting), 5m, and 30m.
