Auto power save
To conserve battery power, the camera will shut down if no operation is made within a certain peri-
od. The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed to 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes. When the
camera is connected to a computer, the auto-power-save period is fixed at ten minutes. Auto power
save is set in section 1 of the setup menu (p. 88). LCD monitor turns off after 1 minute regardless of
the setup menu setting.
An image can be displayed on the monitor after it is captured.
When used with the continuous-advance, progressive-capture, or
bracketing drive modes (p. 46), the images in the series are
played back in a six-frame index display. Instant playback is acti-
vated section 1 of the setup menu (p. 88). A playback period of
two or ten seconds can be selected. To cancel the playback and
save the image before the end of the playback period, press the
shutter-release button partway down.

Camera Notes
Lens accessory
This camera is compatible with the optional Wide-Angle
Converter ZCW-300 Kit. This kit contains a 0.75X wide-angle
converter, which reduces the focal length of the zoom lens’
wide-angle position giving it the equivalent of a 26mm lens on a
35mm camera.
When the converter is mounted, the lens accessory option in
section 1 of the setup menu should be set to “WideConvertr.”
An indicator (W) appears in the top left corner of the monitor as
a warning. Refer to the converter manual for more information.
A 52 mm filter can be attached to the front of the Adapter ring
ZCA-300 which is included in this kit and which also could be pur-
chased individually. The filter cannot be used with the wide con-
verter. Vignetting may occur with an 8 mm (0.3 inch) or thicker filter ring, or when more than one fil-
ter is attached.
Use the left/right keys of the controller to adjust bright-
ness, the monitor image changes accordingly. Press the
central button of the controller to set the level.
