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, close the slide cover. The
power-on lamp and the monitor will turn off.
B Notes on Opening and Closing the Slide Cover
• Be sure to keep your fingers or other objects away from the lens when opening and closing the
slide cover.
• The camera turns on before the slide cover is fully open, but shooting is not possible until the
cover is fully open.
• When the camera is not in use, close the slide cover completely. Otherwise, power continues to be
consumed even when the monitor is off, and the battery runs low.
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 blink.
While the power-on lamp is blinking, press the shutter-release button to reactivate the monitor.
• The time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode can be changed from the
Auto off option in the setup menu (A 88).
• Camera enters standby mode in about a minute (default setting) during shooting or playback
mode.
• When the AC Adapter EH-62G (available separately) is used, a screen saver function is activated to
prevent screen burn when no operations are performed for about a minute (default setting).
