Turning On and Off the Camera

To turn on the camera, press the power switch. The power-on lamp (green) will light for a moment and the monitor will turn on.

To turn off the camera, press the power switch again. When the camera is turned off, both the power-on lamp and monitor will turn off.

•If the camera is turned off, hold down the cbutton to turn the camera on in playback mode (A29).

CAuto Power Off in Shooting Mode (Standby Mode)

If no operations are performed for about a minute (default setting), the monitor will turn off automatically and the camera will enter standby mode. If no operations are performed for another three minutes, the camera will turn off automatically (the auto off function).

Pressing the power switch, or the shutter-release button, while the monitor is off in standby mode (power-on lamp is blinking) will reactivate the monitor.

The time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode can be changed from the Auto off option (A129) in the setup menu (A117).
