To turn the camera off, press the power switch when the power-on lamp is lit. Do not remove the
batteries or disconnect the EH-62B AC adapter until the power-on lamp has gone out.

Auto Power Off (Standby Mode)
If no operations are performed for one minute (default setting), the monitor will turn off automat-
ically and the camera will enter standby mode to reduce the drain on the batteries. While the cam-
era is in standby mode, the power-on lamp will blink. If no operations are performed for three
minutes after the camera enters standby mode, the camera will turn off automatically and the
power-on lamp will go out. The camera will be reactivated from standby mode when you:
• Press the power switch
• Press the shutter-release button halfway
• Press the x button to view the last picture taken
• Press the ^ button to display the menu for the current mode
• Rotate the mode dial to select a new mode
The length of time before the camera enters standby mode can be changed using the Auto
off option in the setup menu (Q 92). However, when a menu or the setup menu is dis-
played, the monitor will turn off after three minutes, and when pictures are being shown in
a non-stop slide show (Q 72) or when the camera is powered by an AC adapter, the mon-
itor will turn off after thirty minutes.

Sleep Mode

Turning sleep mode on will cause the camera to enter standby mode when there is no change in
the brightness of the subject, even before the time selected in the AUTO OFF menu has elapsed
(Q 92).
