Camera Setup Conserving Battery Power: The Auto-Off Menu When operated on battery power, the camera will enter sleep mode if no operations are performed for thirty seconds (or three minutes when menus are displayed). The time limit for sleep mode can be chosen from thirty seconds, one minute, five minutes, and thirty minutes using the Auto Off menu. The time limit for (shooting) mode can be set from the setup menu for any User Set, and applies to all User Sets. The time limit for playback is independent of the time limit for mode, and is set using the Auto Off option in the playback setup menu. Using a 2CR5 (DL245) Battery When powered by a six-volt 2CR5 (DL245) lithium battery, the camera may become hot if left on for an extended period. We recommend that you set Auto Off to five minutes or less when using a 2CR5 (DL245) lithium battery. Sleep Mode In sleep mode, all camera functions are deactivated and the camera itself is effectively off, consuming almost no power. The camera can be reactivated by pressing the MONITOR ( ) button or by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. Using an AC Adapter When the camera is powered by the EH-21 AC adapter/battery charger (available separately), the camera will remain on for thirty minutes if no operations are performed, regardless of the setting in the Auto Off menu. If the camera is connected to a video device, video output will continue indefinitely after the monitor has turned off. 143
