CNotes on Auto Off When the Camera is Powered by AC Adapter

•When the AC Adapter EH-62D (available separately; A169) is used, a screen saver function is activated to prevent screen burn if no operations are performed for the time selected for the Auto off option (which is fixed to three minutes while a setting screen is displayed). Press the shutter- release button to reactivate the monitor. If no operations are performed for 30 minutes while the screen saver is on, the monitor turns off.

•The images used for the screen saver are the same as those displayed when lis tapped with slide show display (A98), though no background music is played.

•In the following cases, the monitor turns off without the screen saver function being activated:

-When no operations are performed for 30 minutes with 30 min selected for Auto off, except when a setting screen is displayed.

-When a slide show lasts for 30 minutes.

•When the camera is connected to a TV or printer, the screen saver function is not activated and the camera does not enter standby mode even when no operations are performed for an extended period of time.
