To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom buttons or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for another 12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the n button to turn the camera on.
The camera may activate the lens and make a
noise even if no operation is performed. This is because the camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.
Press the q button to switch to the shooting
mode.
