Turning On The Power; Automatic Self-Cleaning Sensor - Canon MARK II EOS 5D Instruction Manual

Turning on the Power

About the Automatic Self-Cleaning Sensor
Whenever you set the power switch to <1/J> or <2>, the
sensor cleaning will be executed automatically. During the sensor
cleaning, the LCD monitor will display <f>. Even during the
sensor cleaning, you can still shoot by pressing the shutter button
halfway (p.35) to stop the sensor cleaning and take a picture.
If you turn on/off the power switch <1/J>/<2> at a short
interval, the <f> icon might not be displayed. This is normal and
not a problem.
About Auto Power Off
To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after about
1 minute of non-operation. To turn on the camera again, just press
the shutter button halfway (p.35).
You can change the auto power-off time with the menu's [5 Auto
power off] setting (p.44).
If you set the power switch to <2> while an image is being recorded to
the card, [Recording ...] will be displayed and the power will turn off after
the card finishes recording the image.
