Conserving Battery Power: Auto Off
When operated on battery power, the camera will
enter sleep mode if no operations are performed
for thirty seconds (or three minutes when menus
are displayed). The time limit for sleep mode can
be chosen from thirty seconds (30 s), one minute
(1m), five minutes (5m), and thirty minutes (30 m)
using Auto Off.
Before Formatting
Formatting memory cards permanently deletes all data they contain, includ-
ing protected pictures and any other data that may be on the card. Before
formatting, be sure to transfer to a computer any pictures you would like to
keep.
Sleep Mode (Auto Off)
In sleep mode, the camera itself is effectively off, consuming almost no power.
The camera can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-release button or slid-
ing the mode selector to a new position.
When powered by an AC adapter kit (available separately; 87), the camera
will remain on for thirty minutes if no operations are performed, regardless of
the setting in the Auto Off menu.
