the LCD screen to sleep.
The red sleep light on the front of the camera goes on. You cannot see live, video images

The LCD screen turns on and captures the image. The image appears on the screen for
about 5 to 8 seconds allowing you to review the picture that you just took, and then the
screen goes to sleep—ready for you to take another picture.

Press the action button once to turn on the LCD screen again.
Auto-Power-Off Function
Your camera automatically switches itself off when you do not use it for more than 2 minutes
as a way to conserve batteries and to save power when you use the optional power adapter.
Important:
The auto-power-off function does not operate in Computer mode.
To disable the auto-power-off function in all modes, hold down the action button while
turning on the camera. The camera will continue to use battery power even if you do not use
it for several minutes. When you turn off the camera and then turn it back on, auto-power-
off is again enabled.
It is especially good to disable auto-power-off when you are using a television to view
images or when you are recording a video that you do not want the camera to turn off during
those operations.
Important:
Always use the optional power adapter when you disable the auto-power-off
function.
