The Auto Off Function
When no operations are performed for about one minute, the screen turns off, the camera
enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The camera turns off after
remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.
To turn the screen back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an operation
such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.

When Using a Tripod
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode (A18) set to W (off )
- When the zoom is at a telephoto position
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Photo VR to Off in the
setup menu (A19) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
