When the sliding cover is opened, the camera turns on. Icons appear in
the LCD and all buttons are enabled. The camera is ready for use.

camera can receive host commands in this state.
When the camera is on, the following settings are always selected:

When the sliding cover is closed or power is not supplied from an AC
adapter or the batteries, the camera is off. No icons appear in the LCD,
the flash is not kept charged, no buttons are enabled, and the camera
cannot communicate with the host computer.
If you close the sliding cover while the camera is actively storing an
image in the camera’s internal memory or on a memory card, or it is
copying or erasing images, the camera will turn off after it completes
the task.
