the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom button or
other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture.
If the camera is left for about 15 minutes, it automatically turns off (the lens
retracts and the monitor turns off). And when the camera is turned on with
playback mode, the camera does not switch to sleep mode and the camera
will turn off automatically when it left for about 3 minutes. Press the
button to turn the camera on.
