Power Save Feature

To save battery power, the camera automatically enters sleep mode and stops
operating if not used for 3 minutes. Operate the shutter button or zoom lever to
reactivate the camera.
If the camera is not operated for 4 hours after the camera enters sleep mode, it
automatically retracts the lens and turns off. To resume operation, turn on the
power again.
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight
conditions.
The red-eye reduction flash mode significantly reduces this
phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the
regular flash.
The flash fires regardless of the available light.
The flash always fires after pre-flashes for red-eye
reduction are emitted.
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions.
