Power Save Feature

To save battery power, the camera automatically enters the sleep mode and stops
operating after a certain period of non-operation. Operate the shutter button or
zoom lever to reactivate the camera. You can adjust the amount of time before
the camera enters sleep mode.
If the camera is not operated for 10 minutes after the camera enters sleep mode,
it automatically closes the lens cover and turns off. To resume operation, turn on
the power again.
Description
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight
conditions.
The red-eye reduction flash mode significantly reduces this
phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the
regular flash.
The flash fires regardless of the available light.
This is a combination of the red-eye reduction flash and fill-
in flash functions. The flash is always fired regardless of
available light and pre-flashes are fired to reduce red-eye.
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions.
