POWER SAVE FUNCTION

The power save function works to conserve the battery pack power when the camera is not being used, or to prevent the battery pack from dying if the camera has accidentally been left on. You can specify the elapsed time (standby time) before the power save function is activated.

1 Display the Option Screen (page 128).

2 Select the power save icon ?, and press the SET button.
