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 the flash is lowered in dark locations or when using a shooting mode in which the
flash does not fire
- 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 (A22) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.

Using the Flash

In situations where a flash is needed, such as in dark
locations or when the subject is backlit, press the m (flash
pop-up) button to raise the flash.
When not using the flash, gently push to lower the flash
until it clicks shut.

Recording Movies

Display the shooting screen and press the b (e
movie-record) button to start recording a movie. Press
the b (e) button again to end recording.
