TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF

About the auto power off function

In order to preserve battery pack power when, for example, the camera has accidentally been left on, the camera is furnished with an “auto power off” function by which the camera automatically turns off after a certain period of inactivity (about 1 minute during shooting or about 3 minutes during playback [factory default settings]).

i If the auto power save function has operated to turn the camera off, press the ON/OFF button to turn it back on.

i You can change the setting for the time elapsed before the camera automatically turns off.

i When the camera is connected to a computer or printer using the dedicated USB interface cable, the auto power save function is disabled, and the camera turns off after about 12 hours.

i When a picture is taken, the date and time it was captured is recorded with it. When the date and time cannot be recorded with the image because the date and time have not yet been set (page 18), the K icon appears. To have the date and time recorded with images, please make this setting before capturing images.
