Fixed Aperture and Auto Off
If the camera goes into "sleep mode" (Auto Off, next page) while Fixed Ap-
erture is set to On, the aperture will be set to the largest aperture (smallest f/
number) when the camera is revived. Pressing the shutter-release button half-
way will return the aperture to the setting it was at before the camera went
into "sleep mode".
