C Notes on Auto Off When the Camera is Powered by AC Adapter
• When the AC Adapter EH-62D (available separately; A 169) is used, a screen saver function is
activated to prevent screen burn if no operations are performed for the time selected for the Auto
off option (which is fixed to three minutes while a setting screen is displayed). Press the shutter-
release button to reactivate the monitor. If no operations are performed for 30 minutes while the
screen saver is on, the monitor turns off.
• The images used for the screen saver are the same as those displayed when l is tapped with
slide show display (A 98), though no background music is played.
• In the following cases, the monitor turns off without the screen saver function being activated:
- When no operations are performed for 30 minutes with 30 min selected for Auto off, except
when a setting screen is displayed.
- When a slide show lasts for 30 minutes.
• When the camera is connected to a TV or printer, the screen saver function is not activated and the
camera does not enter standby mode even when no operations are performed for an extended
period of time.
