CONSERVING BATTERY POWER
To conserve the battery, the display in the viewfinder will turn off after
approximately 6 seconds of non-operation. When the Function Display (P.35) is
displayed in the color LCD monitor, it will not be turned off.) Each button (except
the depth-of-filed preview button) can be operated normally.
In addition, the camera includes an Auto Power Off and LCD Off feature to
conserve battery power. If not used for a predetermined amount of time, the
backlight of the color LCD monitor or the camera will be turned off automatically.
For further information, please refer to LCD OFF AND AUTO POWER OFF

A small amount of power is used even when the color LCD monitor or camera is
turned off. The camera may be reactivated or the shutter may be released
accidentally. Therefore, if you do not intend to use the camera, please set the
D-dial to the
position.
