When you press the Power button, the camera performs a
brief self-test, then displays a normal LCD panel. If the sound
indicators are enabled, the camera also emits a short,
high-pitched tone to indicate that it passed the self-test and is
ready to take pictures.
If the camera detects any problems or errors during its
self-test, it displays an error message on the LCD and emits
one or two short, low-pitched tones. (For more information
about error messages, see Troubleshooting error messages on
page 111.)

camera from computer control, page 80 for Macintosh or
page 102 for PC.)
•
Disconnect the camera from the computer. (See Disconnecting
the camera from your computer on page 29.)
