Power-Saving Adjustment
Adjust the timing of automatic camera and screen deactivation (Auto 
Power Down and Display Off, respectively) as needed (= 26).
 
Choose [Power Saving], and then press 
the [ ] button.
 
After choosing an item, press the [ ][ ] 
buttons to adjust it as needed.
 
To conserve battery power, you should normally choose [On] for 
[Auto Power Down] and [1 min.] or less for [Display Off].
 
The [Display Off] setting is applied even if you set [Auto Power 
Down] to [Off].
 
These power-saving functions are not available when you have 
set Eco mode (= 145) to [On].

Choose [Disp. Brightness], and then 
press the [ ][ ] buttons to adjust the

Lens Retraction Timing
The lens is normally retracted for safety about one minute after you press 
the [

immediately after you press the [
] button, set the retraction timing to [0 
sec.].
 
Choose [Lens Retraction], and then 
choose [0 sec.].
Using Eco Mode
This function allows you to conserve battery power in Shooting mode. 
When the camera is not in use, the screen quickly darkens to reduce 
battery consumption. 
Configure the setting.
 
Choose [Eco Mode], and then choose [On].
 
[
] is now shown on the shooting 
screen (= 170).
 
The screen darkens when the camera 
is not used for approximately two 
seconds; approximately ten seconds 
after darkening, the screen turns off. 
The camera turns off after approximately 
three minutes of inactivity.
Shoot.
 
To activate the screen and prepare for 
shooting when the screen is off but the 
lens is still out, press the shutter button 
halfway.
