Press the power button for at least 1 second.
h The camera turns off.
h If you briefly press the power button, once, the camera will switch to 

the sleep mode.

In order to preserve battery pack power, the ECONOMY function operates to 
automatically turn off the camera (sleep mode) after about 5 minutes of no 
use during shooting, or about 5 minutes of no use during playback (factory-
preset settings).

i When the camera is in the sleep mode, it turns on when the monitor unit is 

opened or one of the camera’s buttons is pressed.

i When the AC adaptor is connected, the ECONOMY mode will become 

active about 5 minutes after the camera is turned on (factory-preset 
setting).

i The user can specify the time elapsed before the sleep mode is activated 

i The camera goes into the standby mode if you close the monitor unit, or if 

you leave it in the sleep mode for about 1 hour. The standby mode uses 
almost no power.

i Open the monitor unit, or press the power button briefly, and the camera 

turns on immediately and you are ready to shoot or view images without 
any delay. Use the standby mode to turn off the camera only briefly, or if 
you want to be able to use it immediately.

i If you close the monitor unit while recording a video, recording stops and 

the camera switches to the standby mode.
