Turning On The Power; Auto Power Off - Canon EOS Rebel SL2 Mode D'emploi

Turning on the Power

If you turn on the power switch and the date/time/zone setting
screen appears, see page 37 to set the date/time/zone.
Automatic Sensor Cleaning
Whenever you set the power switch to <1> or <2>, sensor
cleaning will be performed automatically. (A small sound may be
heard.) During the sensor cleaning, the LCD monitor will display
<f>.
Even during the sensor cleaning, if you press the shutter button
halfway (p.44), cleaning operation will be stopped, and you can take
a picture immediately.
If you repeatedly turn the power switch <1>/<2> at a short
interval, the <f> icon may not be displayed. This is normal and
not a malfunction.
