CONTROLS
MAIN SWITCH
15 16
The camera is turned on and off using the main switch. This is located below
the shutter release and is a lever with three detent positions:
a. Off
b. Single picture
Pressing the shutter release takes a single picture regardless of how long
it is held down for.
c. It is also used to enable the date/time entry and the sensor cleaning
function (for more information, see p. 88/110).
Notes:
• After turning on, the camera is ready to use after approx. 1s.
• Even if the main switch is not set to , the camera is turned off
automatically if none of the controls are used for 2 minutes.
• If the camera is out of use for an extended period or is stored in a case,
always turn it off at the main switch. This prevents any power
consumption, including that which continues to occur in standby mode
after the exposure meter is turned off automatically and the display is
extinguished. This also prevents pictures from being taken accidentally.
