on, power may be interrupted, causing the date and other internal

settings to revert to the factory default status.

below. This could shorten the life of the battery.

• When the monitor is turned on.

• When the monitor is in the playback mode for an extended

period of time.

• Repeated zoom adjustments.

• Repeated auto-focus by depressing the shutter button halfway.

• When the camera is connected to a PC.

TIPS

mode and stops the operation after about 3 minutes of non-

shutter button or zoom lever. The sleep time interval can be set in

any shooting mode (except q). g
