Part I: Getting Started 

 

If you photograph events with another photographer, make sure the time and 
dates are the same on both cameras. That way, when you combine images 
from the photo shoot and edit them, you’ll be able to accurately sort them by 
time and date.

Modifying the auto–power off time

Your camera powers off automatically after 1 minute of non-operation. You 
can specify a period of time from 30 seconds to 15 minutes for auto–power 
off, or you can disable the feature. However, your camera will automatically 
power off after 15 minutes of non-activity even if you choose to disable this 
feature. Naturally, choosing a short power-off time helps conserve your bat-
tery. After your camera powers off, press the shutter, Info, or Menu button to 
make the camera power on again. Here’s how to change the power-off time:

 

 

1.  Press the Menu button.

 

  The previously used menu appears on the LCD monitor.

 

 

2.  Navigate to the Camera Settings 2 tab (left image, Figure 1-10).

 

 

3.  Highlight Auto Power Off (left image in Figure 1-10) and then press 

the Set button.

 

  The Auto Power Off options display (see the right image in Figure 1-10).

 

4.  Highlight the desired setting and then press Set.

 

 

The change is applied.

 

To restore the camera to its default settings, press the Menu button and then 
navigate to the Camera Settings 4 tab. Highlight Clear Camera Settings, press 
Set, highlight Clear All Camera Settings, and then press Set.
