Step 1 Turn the Camera On
The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Turning the Camera On and Off
• When the camera is turned on, the power-on lamp (green) lights and the
monitor is turned on (the power-on lamp turns off when the monitor is turned
on).
• To turn off the camera, press the power switch. Both the monitor and the
power-on lamp are turned off.
• To turn on the camera in playback mode, press and hold the c (playback)
button. At this time, the lens does not extend.
• When Record GPS data in GPS options of the GPS options menu is set to On,
GPS functions will continue to operate even after the camera is turned off
(A89).
C Power Saving Function (Auto Off)
If no operations are performed for a while, the monitor will turn off, the camera will enter standby
mode, and the power-on lamp will flash. If no operations are performed for another 3 minutes, the
camera will turn off automatically.
• To turn on the monitor again in standby mode, perform either one of the following operations.
- Press the power switch, shutter-release button, c button, or b (e movie-record) button.
- Rotate the mode dial.
• The time that elapses before the camera enters standby mode can be changed using the Auto off
setting in the setup menu (A96).
• By default, the camera enters standby mode in about 1 minute when you are using shooting
mode or playback mode.
• If you are using the AC Adapter EH-62F (available separately), the camera enters standby mode
after 30 minutes. This setting cannot be changed.
C Note on Battery Drain
Battery power drains faster than usual while the camera is recording log data (A92) or using a Wi-Fi
connection (A93).
