Getting started
Turning the power on/off
When shooting pictures
Power on: Open the lens barrier.
The camera turns on in the shooting mode. The lens extends
and the flash pops up.
If the lens does not extend, the lens barrier is not fully open.
Open the lens barrier until it clicks.
Power off: Close the lens barrier slightly until it just touches the lens
barrier.
The lens barrier stops just before it touches the lens and the lens
retracts. Wait until the lens is fully retracted before closing the
lens barrier completely.
The camera turns off. (The monitor also turns off.)
Press the flash down manually until it locks in place.
To save battery power, the camera automatically enters the sleep mode
after about 3 minutes of non-operation. If the monitor is on, it will
automatically turn off. The camera activates again as soon as you
lightly press the shutter button or zoom lever. Whenever possible, turn
the camera off when you do not intend to take any pictures for a while.
Do not push the lens barrier forcefully against the lens as this may
damage the lens or cause it to malfunction.
If the date and time have reverted to the
factory default settings, Y/M/D appears
on the monitor. “Setting the date and
time” ( p.20)
