Introduction
Power saving modes and auto power off
This camera features a three-stage power saving function, which works as follows if no
operation is attempted for the times shown while the power is on.
Approx. five seconds: The monitor brightness will be reduced to about 50% nor-
mal brightness.
Approx. one minute (default setting): The monitor turns off and the camera
enters standby mode. The power-on lamp blinks. The camera can be reactivated by
pressing the shutter-release button halfway. (The length of time before entering the
standby mode can be changed.)
Approx. three minutes after the camera has entered standby mode: The cam-
era will turn off.
EN-MH1 Batteries
Charge EN-MH1 batteries before first use. Charge and use as a set: do not charge bat-
teries one at a time or mix batteries from different pairs. Note that the batteries may
tend to discharge more quickly when new or after a long period of disuse. The batter-
ies will retain a charge longer once they have been used and recharged several times.
“Memory” effects that result in reduced battery capacity can be avoided by periodi-
cally refreshing the batteries as described in the Appendix ( 101).
