To turn on the camera, press the power switch.
The power-on lamp (green) will light, and then the

When the camera is turned off, both the power-on lamp and monitor will turn off.
If the camera is turned off, hold down the c button to turn the camera on in

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. If no operations are performed for another three minutes,
the camera will turn off automatically.
To reactivate the monitor while the power on lamp is blinking, press any of the following buttons:
- Power switch, shutter-release button, A button, c button or b (e movie-record) button.
In shooting or playback mode, the camera will enter standby mode in about one minute (default
setting).
The time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode can be changed from the
Auto off option (A147) in the setup menu (A 135).
