Your camera has a PowerSave mode designed to improve battery life. There are three 
separate phases to PowerSave mode. If your camera is On, and you don’t touch any 
controls for 8 seconds, 15 seconds, or 5 minutes, the following actions occur:

✔ Phase 1: After 8 seconds the Camera Status LCD panel turns Off and the Pronea 

body goes to sleep.

✔ Phase 2: After 15 seconds the Image LCD panel turns Off and the digital camera 

section goes to sleep. (You can change this time in Properties. Refer to “Setting 
The PowerSave Time” on page 3-11.)

✔ Phase 3: After 5 minutes the camera goes to “sleep” mode to reduce power 

consumption. This occurs only if the camera is powered by batteries. Your camera 
will not enter Phase 3 PowerSave mode when it is connected to the Kodak-
specified AC adapter or connected to the computer with an IEEE 1394 cable (even 
if the camera is being powered by batteries).
