Using the Mode Dial
In economy mode, the camera reduces the 
brightness of the LCD monitor and works 
as follows to reduce the battery power 
consumption. On other operations in this 
mode, the camera works the same as the 
normal picture mode [ ].
Refer to P24 for settings.
Conditions:
 When 15 seconds passed without any operation.
 When 5 seconds passed without any  operation after taking a picture. (Effective 
only when [ECONOMY] on the [SETUP] 
menu is set to [LEVEL 2].) (P26)
Operation:
 The message [MONITOR OFF] blinks, the  LCD monitor turns off and then the status 
indicator lights.
How to turn the LCD monitor on again:
Press any key.
Power save:
If 2 minutes passed without any operation 
in economy mode, the camera is turned off 
and the power save mode is activated. To 
cancel the power save mode, press the 
shutter button halfway or turn the camera 
off and then turn it on again.
 The economy mode is not activated in the  following cases (The power save mode is 
activated.):
– While the menu screen is displayed
– While the self-timer is set
 When you use the AC adaptor  (DMW-AC1; optional), the power save 
mode is not activated. This mode allows you to take close-up 
pictures of the subject, e.g. When taking 
pictures of flowers.
You can take pictures approaching the 
subject at a distance up to 5 cm (0.16 feet) 
from the lens by rotating the zoom lever 
upmost to Wide (1
k).
∫ Focus range
 We recommend using a tripod.
 When the subject is close to the camera, 
the effective focus range (depth of field) is 
much narrowed. Therefore, you will have 
difficulty in focusing on the subject if the 
distance between the camera and the 
subject is changed afte r the subject is 
focused.
 When the camera lens is at a distance  beyond the available range from the 
subject, the subject may not be focused 
even if the focus indication lights.
 The available flash range is about 30 cm  (0.98 feet) – 4.2 m (13.8 feet) (Wide). (This 
is applied when you set the ISO sensitivity 
to [AUTO].)
 When you take pictures at close range in 
macro mode, the resolution of the 
peripheral of the picture may be slightly 
decreased. However, this is not a 
malfunction.
