<1> : The camera turns on.
<2> : The camera is turned off and
does not operate. Set to this
position when not using the
camera.
Whenever you set the power switch to <1> or <2>, the sensor
cleaning will be executed automatically. During the sensor cleaning,
the LCD monitor will display <f>. Even during the sensor
cleaning, you can still shoot by pressing the shutter button halfway
(p.37) to stop the sensor cleaning and take a picture.
If you turn on/off the power switch <1>/<2> at a short interval,
the <f> icon might not be displayed. This is normal and not a
problem.
To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after about
30 seconds of non-operation. To turn on the camera again, just
press the shutter button.
You can change the auto power-off time with the menu’s [5 Auto
power off] setting. (p.109)
