Turning On The Power - Canon EOS 70D Basic Instruction Manual

Turning on the Power

If you turn on the power switch and the date/time/zone setting
screen appears, see page 33 to set the date/time/zone.
Automatic Sensor Cleaning
If you repeatedly turn the power switch <1>/<2> at a short
interval, the <f> icon may not be displayed. This is normal and
not a malfunction.
3 Auto Power Off
To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after 1
minute of non-operation. To turn on the camera again, just press the
shutter button halfway (p.41).
You can set the auto power off time with [52: Auto power off]
(p.55).
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.
<1> : The camera turns on.
<2> : The camera is turned off and
does not operate. Set to this
position when not using the
camera.
Whenever you set the power switch
to <1> or <2>, sensor
cleaning will be executed
automatically. (A small sound may be
heard.) During the sensor cleaning,
the LCD monitor will display <f>.
You can still shoot during sensor
cleaning by pressing the shutter
button halfway (p.41) to stop the
sensor cleaning and take a picture.
