Power-Saving Features (Auto Power Down)

inactivity.

The screen is automatically deactivated after about one minute of inactivity.
In about two more minutes, the lens is retracted and the camera turns itself
off. To activate the screen and prepare for shooting when the screen is off
but the lens is still out, press the shutter button halfway (

inactivity.

Power saving is not active while the camera is connected to other devices via
