File Numbering; Auto Off - Nikon CoolPix 990 Manual

Auto Off

When operated on battery power, the
camera enters sleep mode if no opera-
tions are performed for thirty seconds
(three minutes when menus are dis-
played). The time limit for sleep mode
can be chosen from the Auto Off menu.
The time limit for playback is independent of the time limit for
A-REC and M-REC, and is set by choosing Auto Off from the
playback setup menu. The time limit for A-REC and M-REC
can be set by choosing Auto Off from either of the A-REC or
M-REC setup menus.
In sleep mode, all camera functions are deactivated and the camera itself is
effectively off, consuming almost no power. The camera can be reactivated
by pressing the MONITOR button or by pressing the shutter-release but-
ton halfway.
While the camera is being powered by the AC adapter (available sepa-
rately), the camera will remain on for thirty minutes if no operations are
performed, regardless of the setting in the Auto Off menu. If the camera
is connected to a television set, the television display will remain on indefi-
nitely after the LCD monitor has turned off.
