Turning the Camera On and Off
• When the camera is turned on, the power-on
lamp (green) will light, and then the monitor will
turn on (the power-on lamp turns off when the
monitor turns on).
• To turn off the camera, close the slide cover. The
power-on lamp and the monitor will turn off.

Notes on Opening and Closing the Slide Cover
• Be sure to keep your fingers or other objects away from the lens when opening and closing the
slide cover.
• The camera turns on before the slide cover is fully open, but shooting is not possible until the
cover is fully open.
• When the camera is not in use, close the slide cover completely. Otherwise, power continues to be
consumed even when the monitor is off, and the battery runs low.

Power Saving Function (Auto Off)
If no operations are performed for a while, the monitor will turn off, the camera will enter standby
mode, and the power-on lamp will blink.
While the power-on lamp is blinking, press the shutter-release button to reactivate the monitor.
• The time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode can be changed from the
Auto off option in the setup menu (
A
88).
• Camera enters standby mode in about a minute (default setting) during shooting or playback
mode.
• When the AC Adapter EH-62G (available separately) is used, a screen saver function is activated to
prevent screen burn when no operations are performed for about a minute (default setting).
