This option determines how long the monitor remains on if no operations are
performed during menu display and playback (Playback/menus), while
photographs are displayed in the monitor after shooting (Image review), and how
long the exposure meters, viewfinder, and information display remain on when no
operations are performed (Auto meter-off ). Choose shorter auto-off delays to
reduce the drain on the battery.
Choose the length of the shutter release delay and the number of shots taken each
time the shutter-release button is pressed in self-timer mode.
Choose how long the camera will wait for a signal from the
remote before cancelling delayed or quick-response remote
mode and restoring single-frame, continuous, or quiet shutter-
release mode (0 65). Choose shorter times for longer battery
life.
