Step 1 Turn the Camera On
Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback
Turning the Camera On and Off
• When the camera is turned on, the power-on lamp (green) will light, and then
the monitor will turn on (the power-on lamp turns off when the monitor turns
on).
• To turn off the camera, press the power switch. When the camera is turned off,
both the power-on lamp and the monitor turn off.
• To turn on the camera in playback mode, press and hold the c (playback)
button. The lens will not extend.
C Power Saving Function (Auto Off)
If no operations are performed for a while, the monitor will turn off, the camera will enter standby
mode, and the power-on lamp will flash. If no operations are performed for approximately another
three minutes, the camera will turn off automatically.
To reactivate the monitor while the power-on lamp is flashing, press any of the following buttons:
- Power switch, shutter-release button, A (shooting mode) button, c (playback) button, or b
(e movie-record) button.
• The time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode can be changed from the
Auto off option (A87) in the setup menu (A86).
• By default, the camera enters standby mode in about one minute when you are using shooting
mode or playback mode.
• When the AC Adapter EH-62G (available separately) is used, the camera enters standby mode after
30 minutes (fixed).
