POWER SAVE
This function switches the camera to stand-by mode
after a certain length of time, which saves power, for
example by deactivating the viewfinder and monitor
LCDs. You can choose whether you want to activate
this function and, if so, after how long you want the
camera to switch to stand-by. In this way, you can tai-
lor this function to your own personal working
methods and also significantly extend the life of your
battery charge.
Notes:
• If you are running the camera directly from the
mains using the mains/charging unit, automatic
switch off is not available.
• If automatic switch off is activated and the battery
needs to be charged, you should turn the camera
off at the main switch (1.26) before connecting the
mains/charging unit to the camera socket. If you
leave the camera turned on in this situation, mal-
functions are possible.
