Auto Power off (Stand-by Mode)
If no operations are performed for about five seconds in shooting mode, the monitor will
gradually dim to save power. Full brightness can be restored by pressing the shutter-release
button or operating any of the controls next to the monitor. If no operations are performed
for about a minute, the monitor will turn off altogether and the camera will enter stand-by
mode, further reducing the drain on the battery (c 109). The camera will turn off automati-
cally if no operations are performed for another three minutes.
