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 will enter standby mode (A21) to reduce the drain on the battery. The power-on lamp will blink in standby mode. If no operations are performed for about another three minutes, the camera will turn off automatically. Choose the time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode. The time options are [30s], [1m] (default setting), [5m], or [30m].

CNotes on Auto Off

Regardless of the option selected, the monitor will remain on for three minutes when menus are displayed, or for 30 minutes during continuous playback for slide shows or when an AC adapter (available separately from Nikon) is connected.
