AUTO POWER OFF
In order to conserve battery power, the SD10 camera goes into a low-power
mode if not used for a predetermined amount of time. The Auto Power Off
timeout can be set using the Camera Set-up Menu to 10 seconds, 30 seconds,
1 minute, 5 minutes, or Off. The default setting is 30 seconds.
TIP
•
The VIEW and MENU buttons will not be active when the camera is in
low-power mode. This prevents the color LCD monitor from being accidentally
turned on and draining the batteries while the camera is not being used. To
reactivate the VIEW and MENU buttons, simply press the shutter halfway or turn
the "D"-dial to another position and back; this will take the camera out of
low-power mode and allow you to perform all regular camera functions.
•
It will still be possible to take pictures while the camera is in low-power mode.
To take a picture simply press the shutter button half-way to activate the
exposure metering and autofocus mechanism, then press the shutter fully to take
the picture.
•
The Auto Power Off timeout counter will not start until the color LCD monitor is
turned off, either manually or by the LCD Sleep timeout.
