the battery and the xD-Picture Card™ (sold

button is pressed”

Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically
goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off
if there is no operation after 3 minutes when the
camera is turned on (when the lens barrier is
open and the monitor is on). No picture is taken
even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this
mode. Operate the zoom button or other buttons to
restore the camera from sleep mode before taking
a picture. If the camera is left for 15 minutes, it
automatically turns off (the monitor turns off). Slide
the lens barrier down again or press o to
