TurningtheCameraOn and Off by Sliding the POWER Switch

Sliding the POWER switch turns the camera on and off.

MEMO

•If the camera is not used for a set period of time, it automatically turns off to avoid wasting battery power. This is called the Auto power off ( p.139).

•If you load the battery or connect the AC adapter without correctly shutting down the camera first, the camera may not operate correctly. If this occurs, turn the camera off and on again.

•To forcibly turn off the camera when there is a problem such as a system error, slide the POWER switch across and hold it in place for at least 5 seconds. Note that this may result in the loss of any files that are being created. Settings such as the date and time may also revert to their default values. In this event, reset the settings before using the camera again.

IMPORTANT

•If you open the battery cover when an AC adapter is not connected, the power will automatically go off.
