Entering RECORD Mode
1
Be sure that you have loaded a
SmartMedia card in the camera. For
instructions, see page 32.
2
Set the mode dial to RECORD (
).
• The camera enters RECORD mode.
Monitor
• The monitor appears as shown at left.
If you wish to stop for awhile, you can
switch off the camera by turning the mode
dial to OFF. (See page 54.)
If the camera is sleeping...
Under factory settings, the camera automatically enters sleep state and the monitor
goes dark if you do not touch any of the buttons for 30 seconds. You can restore full
power by lightly touching the shutter release button or moving the zoom lever. Note that
you can select a different sleep time as described on page 179.
If you do not touch the camera for about 4 hours after it has entered sleep state, the
camera shuts off all power. (Time to power-off may be somewhat longer if you are
using new batteries.) It is strongly recommended, however, that you switch the camera
off promptly when you are finished using it.
