Quick Start Basics
Pressing [ON/OFF] (Power) enters the REC mode so 
you can record images. Pressing [p] (PLAY) while in 
the REC mode enters the PLAY mode, which you can 
use to view snapshots and movies (pages 29, 67).
•Pressing [r] (REC) while in the PLAY mode returns 
to the REC mode.
• Take care to ensure that nothing is restricting or 
coming into contact with the lens as it extends. 
Holding the lens with your hand so it cannot extend 
creates the risk of malfunction.
• About 10 seconds after you press [p] (PLAY) to 
enter the PLAY mode, the lens will retract into the 
camera.
• The Sleep function or Auto Power Off (pages 108, 
108) will turn off power automatically if you do not 
perform any operation for a preset amount of time.
Press [ON/OFF] (Power).
NOTE
• You also can configure the camera to turn on or off when you press [r] (REC) or 
[p] (PLAY) (page 109).
