The Standby Timer (Viewfinder Photography)
The camera uses a standby timer to help reduce the drain on the battery.
The timer starts when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway and
expires if no operations are performed for about 6 seconds. The
viewfinder display and the shutter speed and aperture indicators in the
top control panel turn off when the timer expires. To restart the timer and
restore the displays, press the shutter-release button halfway a second
time. The length of time before the standby timer expires can be adjusted
using Custom Setting c2 [Standby timer].
