Preparing for Shooting
C The Auto Off Function
• If you do not operate the camera for about 30 seconds, the monitor turns off, the camera enters
standby mode, and the power-on lamp flashes. The camera turns off after about three minutes in
standby mode.
• The amount of time until the camera enters standby mode can be changed using the Auto off
setting (A24, E70) in the setup menu.
• While the camera is in standby mode, the monitor turns back on if you perform any of the
following operations:
➝ Press the power switch, shutter-release button, A (shooting mode) button, c (playback)
button, or b(e movie-record) button
C Changing the Language Setting and the Date and Time Setting
• You can change these settings using the Language and Time zone and date settings in the
zsetup menu (A24).
• You can enable or disable daylight saving time in the z setup menu by selecting Time zone and
date followed by Time zone. Press the multi selector K and then H to enable daylight saving
time and move the clock forward one hour, or I to disable daylight saving time and move the
clock back one hour.
C The Clock Battery
• The camera’s clock is powered by a built-in backup battery. The backup battery is charged when
the main batteries are inserted into the camera or when the camera is connected to an optional
AC adapter, and it can run the clock for several days after about ten hours of charging.
• If the camera’s backup battery becomes exhausted, the date and time setting screen is displayed
when the camera is turned on. Set the date and time again. See step 3 (A8) of “Turn the Camera
On and Set the Display Language, Date, and Time” for more information.
