Turning the Camera On and Off

To turn on the camera, slide the lens cover switch to the

ON

position, as shown in the illustration below. The lens cover
opens and the status display panel on the top of the camera
lights up. The status light on the back of the camera flashes
for a few seconds (if the LCD monitor switch is set to

PLAYBACK

, set it to

VIEW

or

OFF

to take pictures). When

it turns green and stays on, you can take pictures.

To turn off the camera, slide down the lens cover switch to
the off position. The lens cover closes, and the status display
panel and status light turn off.

Saving Battery Power with Auto Shut-off

When the LCD monitor is turned off and you wait more
than 60 seconds before or after taking a picture, the camera
shuts off automatically to save battery power.

When the LCD monitor is on, the camera shuts off if you
wait more than 30 seconds before or after taking a picture.

To “wake” the camera after auto shut-off, press the

SELECT

or

BACK

button on the back of the camera, or use the lens

cover switch to turn the camera off and on again.
