Step 1 Turn the Camera On
The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Turning the Camera On and Off
• When the camera is turned on, the power-on lamp (green) lights and the
monitor is turned on (the power-on lamp turns off when the monitor is turned
on).
• To turn off the camera, press the power switch. Both the monitor and the
power-on lamp are turned off.
• To turn on the camera in playback mode, press and hold the c (playback)
button. At this time, the lens does not extend.
C Closing the Monitor and Power
• When the monitor is closed with the screen facing inward, the power cannot be turned on even if
the power switch or c button is pressed.
• When the monitor is closed with the screen facing inward while the power is on, the camera
enters standby mode and the power lamp flashes on and off. After the monitor is in the closed
position for 3 minutes, the power turns off. Opening the monitor when the camera is in standby
mode causes it to switch to the shooting mode.
• When the monitor is closed while movie recording or interval timer shooting, recording will end.
• When the camera is connected to a TV, PC or printer, the camera will not enter standby mode
when the monitor is closed.
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 another 3 minutes, the
camera will turn off automatically.
• To turn on the monitor again in standby mode, perform either one of the following operations.
- Press the power switch, shutter-release button or the c button.
- Rotate the mode dial.
• The time that elapses before the camera enters standby mode can be changed using the Auto off
setting in the setup menu (A110).
• By default, the camera enters standby mode in about 1 minute when you are using shooting
mode or playback mode.
• If you are using the AC Adapter EH-5b (available separately), the camera enters standby mode after
30 minutes. This setting cannot be changed.
C Monitor Display
Press the s button to switch between showing and hiding the photo information or shooting
information that is displayed on the monitor screen (A9).
