Power Saving Function (Auto Power Down) Display in Dark Conditions during Shooting The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark conditions, allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual image recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the movement of the subject may appear somewhat jagged on the screen. This has no effect on the recorded image. Overexposure Warning during Playback In "Detailed Information Display" (p. 43), overexposed areas of the image flash on the screen. Histogram during Playback High ● The graph that appears in "Detailed Information Display" (p. 43) is called the histogram. The histogram shows the Low distribution and amount of brightness of an image. When the graph approaches Dark Bright the right side, the image is bright, but when it approaches the left side, the image is dark, and in this way you can judge the exposure. Power Saving Function (Auto Power Down) To save battery power, the camera shuts down automatically when it is not operated for a certain time. Power Saving during Shooting The monitor will turn off approximately 1 minute after the camera is last operated. After about 2 more minutes, the lens will retract and the power will turn off. When the monitor has turned off but the lens has not retracted yet, pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 21) turns on the monitor and shooting can continue. Power Saving during Playback The power will turn off approximately 5 minutes after the camera is last operated. • You can turn off the Power Saving Function (p. 108). • You can adjust the time before the monitor turns off (p. 108). 44
