To save battery power, the camera shuts down automatically when it is not
operated for a certain time.
Power Saving during Shooting
The monitor will turn off approximately 1 minute after the camera is last
operated. After about 2 more minutes, the lens will retract and the power will
turn off.
When the monitor has turned off but the lens has not retracted yet, pressing
the shutter button halfway (p. 19) turns on the monitor and shooting can
continue.
Power Saving during Playback
The power will turn off approximately 5 minutes after the camera is last
operated.
The indicator on the back of the camera (p. 38) will light or blink green when
images are being recorded to/read from the memory card, or during any kind
of transfer (p. 21).

When the indicator blinks green, data is being recorded to/read from the
memory card or various information is being transmitted. Do not turn off
the power, open the memory card slot/battery cover, shake or jolt the
camera. These actions may corrupt the image data or cause the camera
or memory card to malfunction.

Display in Dark Conditions during Shooting
The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark conditions,
allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the
brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual
image recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the
movement of the subject may appear somewhat jagged on the screen. This
has no effect on the recorded image.
Overexposure Warning during Playback
In “Detailed Information Display” (p. 41), overexposed areas of the image
flash on the screen.
Histogram during Playback
●The graph that appears in “Detailed
Information Display” (p. 41) is called the
histogram. The histogram shows the
distribution and amount of brightness of
an image. When the graph approaches
the right side, the image is bright, but
when it approaches the left side, the
image is dark, and in this way you can
judge the exposure.

About formatting
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file
management information on the card and does not ensure its contents
are completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a
memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such
as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.
•
•
•
• • The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen
may be less than indicated on the memory card.
•
•
•
• • Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting, since all
recorded data are erased.
•
•
•
• • You can stop a low level format of a memory card by selecting [Stop].
When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the
memory card can be used without problem.
