time a camera control is accessed. The LCD monitor will shut
off approximately three minutes after the last time a camera
control is accessed even if the power-saving function is
turned off.
Replaying Mode: Powers down approximately five minutes after the last time
a camera control is accessed.
Printer Connection Mode:
Powers down approximately five minutes after the last time
a camera control is accessed on the camera or something is
printed on the printer.

approximately 5 minutes after a control is last accessed. The
camera will power down if no controls are used after 1
additional minute.
