If you set the Power Save function when using the camera in “

When [POWER SAVE] is set to [1MIN.], [3MIN.] or [6MIN.].
If the camera is left switched on for the set delay time or longer, it automatically enters sleep
mode for two minutes.
While the camera is in sleep mode, it can be quickly returned to its original shooting mode
by pressing the shutter release button half way or by pressing any of the other function
buttons. However, after the two minutes have passed, the camera is switched off.
When [POWER SAVE] is set to [NO PWR OFF].
If the camera is left switched on for six minutes or more, it automatically enters sleep mode.
In this case, the camera remains in the sleep mode and is not switched off. To return the
camera to its normal shooting mode, press the shutter release button half way or press any
