Turning the Camera On and Off
To turn on the camera, slide the lens cover switch to the ON
position, as shown in the illustration below. The lens cover
opens and the status display panel on the top of the camera
lights up. The status light on the back of the camera flashes
for a few seconds (if the LCD monitor switch is set to
PLAYBACK , set it to VIEW or OFF to take pictures). When
it turns green and stays on, you can take pictures.
To turn off the camera, slide down the lens cover switch to
the off position. The lens cover closes, and the status display
panel and status light turn off.
