set period of time (usually about 5 minutes), a message asking whether you
wish to remain connected may appear (some models may not display this). If the

minute. The message will not appear and the camera will not disconnect if the
camera (excluding the PowerShot A40/A30/A20/A10 models) is powered from a
household power source or if the [Auto Power Down] (Power Save) function is
turned off (only PowerShot A40/A30).
