PowerSave Mode
Your camera has a PowerSave mode designed to improve battery life. There are three
separate phases to PowerSave mode. If your camera is On, and you don’t touch any
controls for 8 seconds, 15 seconds, or 5 minutes, the following actions occur:
✔ Phase 1: After 8 seconds the Camera Status LCD panel turns Off and the Pronea
body goes to sleep.
✔ Phase 2: After 15 seconds the Image LCD panel turns Off and the digital camera
section goes to sleep. (You can change this time in Properties. Refer to “Setting
The PowerSave Time” on page 3-11.)
✔ Phase 3: After 5 minutes the camera goes to “sleep” mode to reduce power
consumption. This occurs only if the camera is powered by batteries. Your camera
will not enter Phase 3 PowerSave mode when it is connected to the Kodak-
specified AC adapter or connected to the computer with an IEEE 1394 cable (even
if the camera is being powered by batteries).
