AUTO POWER SAVE

To conserve battery power, the camera will turn off displays if an operation is not made within several
minutes. To restore power, press the main switch, shutter-release button, menu button or the central
button of the controller. The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in the setup mode
(p. 64). When the camera is connected to a computer, the auto-power-save does not work; the cam-
era will shut down automatically after 12 hours.
