off if there is no operation for a certain amount of time when the camera is turned on (the

from 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in 
this mode. Operate the shutter button or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep 
mode before taking a picture. If the camera is further left for 12 minutes, it automatically 
turns off (the lens retracts and the monitor turns off). Return the power switch to OFF and
