Power management
You can use batteries or an AC adapter to power your camera. To conserve power
usage, the camera has a sleep mode.
Sleep mode
After a specified period of inactivity, the camera enters sleep mode by turning the
color LCD off. You use the Capture Preferences menu to set the amount of time
before entering sleep mode. Refer to setting the Sleep Time-out preference on
page 3-11. After 10 minutes of inactivity, the camera turns itself off.
To reactivate your camera from the sleep mode:
✔
In the Review mode, press Display.
✔
In the Capture mode, use the Zoom or Shutter as you normally would to
take a picture.
Using the AC adapter
The AC adapter, which is an optional accessory, allows you to connect your
camera to a standard electrical outlet. This is especially useful when you are
transferring pictures to your computer or using video out mode. The adapter
powers the camera, but does not charge the batteries.
WARNING:
Only use the AC adapter designed for the camera. Use of any
other adapter can void the warranty and can cause camera
failure, fire, electric shock, or injury.
1
Insert the AC adapter into the AC power adapter
connection on the side of your camera.
2
Connect the other end of the adapter into a power
outlet.
3
Turn on the camera.
☞
The Battery icon does not appear on the Status
Display when an AC adapter is used.
