The camera will preserve all preference settings (adjustments) made prior to turning it off.
Note: When the camera is powered off, your settings will be retained. However, if you remove or replace
the batteries the camera will loose the current settings and the camera will revert to the factory default
settings.
Using power-save:
Your camera contains a power-saving feature that automatically turns the camera off after three (3) minutes
of inactivity or after five (5) minutes of inactivity when the camera is connected to a computer.
If you are using the LCD to preview pictures while the camera is powered by batteries, the camera will shut
off after 30 seconds of inactivity. You can extend this time interval to 3 minutes by holding down the
Select button for 2 seconds when starting LCD preview mode.
è
To restore power to the camera after it has automatically turned off, press the Power button.
è
To adjust the time interval of the power-save function, see the
