## Eco Mode

Sets the length of time until the screen goes dark and the time until the camera turns off.
If you do not operate the camera for a certain period of time while the power is on using the battery pack, the screen goes dark and the camera later turns off automatically to prevent wearing down the battery pack (Auto power-off function).

1. MENU (Settings) (Main Settings) [Eco Mode] desired mode

| Max | Saves battery power better than when set to [Standard]. If the camera is not operated for a certain period of time, the power turns off automatically. In shooting mode, the screen automatically goes dark before the power turns off.
| Standard | If the camera is not operated for a certain period of time, the power turns off automatically. In shooting mode, the screen automatically goes dark before the power turns off. It takes longer before the power turns off than when set to [Max].
| Off | Does not use the Auto power-off function.

Notes

- The camera does not enter Eco mode under conditions such as during a slideshow, when recording movies or when the camera is connected to a computer.

- To prevent burn-in on the screen, the screen goes dark when the camera is not operated for a certain period of time even if [Eco Mode] is set to [Off], but the camera is not turned off.
