Power-Saving Features (Auto Power Down) As a way to conserve battery power, the camera automatically deactivates the screen (Display Off) and then turns itself off after a specific period of inactivity. Power Saving in Shooting Mode The screen is automatically deactivated after about one minute of inactivity. In about two more minutes, the lens is retracted and the camera turns itself off. To activate the screen and prepare for shooting when the screen is off but the lens is still out, press the shutter button halfway (= 26). Power Saving in Playback Mode The camera turns itself off automatically after about five minutes of inactivity. ●● You can deactivate Auto Power Down and adjust the timing of Display Off, if you prefer (=164). ●● Power saving is not active while the camera is connected to other devices via Wi-Fi (=132), or when connected to a computer (= 176). Shutter Button To ensure your shots are in focus, always begin by holding the shutter button halfway down, and once the subject is in focus, press the button all the way down to shoot. In this guide, shutter button operations are described as pressing the button halfway or all the way down. 1 Press halfway. (Press lightly to focus.) zzPress the shutter button halfway. The camera beeps twice, and frames are displayed around image areas in focus. 2 Press all the way down. (From the halfway position, press fully to shoot.) zzThe camera shoots, as a shutter sound is played. zzKeep the camera still until the shutter sound ends. ●● Images may be out of focus if you shoot without initially pressing the shutter button halfway. ●● Length of shutter sound playback varies depending on the time required for the shot. It may take longer in some shooting scenes, and images will be blurry if you move the camera (or the subject moves) before the shutter sound ends.
