Auto-Standby Operation
Auto-Standby is a feature of the H-Series camera that helps to guard
against draining the batteries prematurely by inadvertently leaving the
camera on. Auto-Standby puts the camera into the Standby state if the
following three conditions are met:
•
The camera is in the On state.
•
The Auto-Standby switch (STBY) is set to ON.
•
No buttons have been pressed for three minutes.
Once these conditions are met you will
see the following message in the display
and the camera will enter the Standby
state after the countdown is finished:
Press any button during this countdown to terminate Auto-Standby
and resume normal operation.
Note
Auto-Standby Switch
Some use scenarios involving
unattended operation of the camera may
require disabling Auto-Standby.
Select OFF to turn off Auto-Standby.
Select ON to turn on Auto-Standby.
If Auto-Standby is off, a reminder message will
appear in the display each time the camera enters
the On state.
Pressing any button during an Auto-Standby countdown will only
terminate the countdown and abort the Auto-Standby.
The normal function of the button will not occur.
