Hint: Auto Power Off Function
If no operations are performed for five minutes or longer while the LCD monitor is opened, the
LCD monitor will dim. This operation saves battery power. To turn the power back on, press the
Release button for more than one second.
To disable Auto Power Off, see page 56.
Note: When the Auto Power Off feature operates, the FLASH MODE, WHITE BALANCE MODE,
AUTO POWER OFF, and INTERVAL TIME SETTING are saved . See “Saving Your Settings ”
on page 58 for further details.
Selecting the Image Quality
This digital camera uses compression and decompression schemes to record a large
amount of information. N (Normal) mode is standard; F (Fine) mode improves picture
quality; and E (Economy) mode allows you to record and store more images. You may
change the image quality for each image. The number of pixels is set to the VGA resolu-
tion (640 (H) x 480 (V)).
