opened or one of the camera’s buttons is pressed.

When the AC adaptor is connected, the ECONOMY mode will become
active about 5 minutes after the camera is turned on (factory-preset
setting).

(page 111).

About the standby mode
i
The camera goes into the standby mode if you close the monitor unit, or if
you leave it in the sleep mode for about 1 hour. The standby mode uses
almost no power.

Open the monitor unit, or press the power button briefly, and the camera
turns on immediately and you are ready to shoot or view images without
any delay. Use the standby mode to turn off the camera only briefly, or if
you want to be able to use it immediately.
i
If you close the monitor unit while recording a video, recording stops and
the camera switches to the standby mode.
