• If the camera is not used for a set period of time, it automatically turns off to avoid
wasting battery power. This is called the Auto power off ( p.139).
• If you load the battery or connect the AC adapter without correctly shutting down
the camera first, the camera may not operate correctly. If this occurs, turn the
camera off and on again.
• To forcibly turn off the camera when there is a problem such as a system error,
slide the POWER switch across and hold it in place for at least 5 seconds. Note
that this may result in the loss of any files that are being created. Settings such as
the date and time may also revert to their default values. In this event, reset the
settings before using the camera again.
IMPORTANT
• If you open the battery cover when an AC adapter is not connected, the power will
automatically go off.
Load the battery.
