Power States
•
Three power states: Off, On, and Standby
•
The initial power-on Bootup process between the Off state and
the On state takes about 90 seconds (fast flashing red state
LED). During the Bootup process, pressing the Power button
again will turn the camera off. After the camera finishes its
power-on Bootup process, it is in the On state (state LED is off).
After the camera is On, pressing the Power button will put the
camera into Standby (state LED is flashing slowly).
•
When battery powered, if Auto-Standby is enabled (see “Auto-
Standby Operation” on page 21), the camera goes to Standby
after three minutes if no buttons are pushed. A warning is shown
in the display.
•
From the Standby state, the camera comes back on within about
two seconds when the Power button is pushed.
•
The Auto-Standby function is disabled if the camera is powered
with auxiliary power.
During most use scenarios you will cycle between Standby and On.
Only at the end of a shift or when not needed on multi-day field missions
might you consider putting the camera into the OFF state.
