sergio_de_la_garza Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Just got a CP5000, it's the first digital I've owned so consider me a newbie. I charged the battery till the light on the charger went out. The battery status icon on the camera shows a full charge. I turn on the camera and after about 3 minutes or less it turns off by itself. In all instances the camera was not sitting still, I was moving it around so the autofocus would be working. I was also zooming the lens in and out. In all instances of it shutting down on it's own, it left the lens extended. Moving the On/Off dial to the Off position would cause the lens to retract. Moving the dial to the On position would once again turn the camera on but it would shut off again after a short while. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong, or not doing something right? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards Sergio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_blair1 Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 I'll bet it's explained in the manual. Both my Olympus cams do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_blair1 Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Try pressing and holding the shutter release button to "wake it up". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 I don't know about the 5000, but in my Nikon 950 I can change the length before the camera shuts off. It's probably hidden somewhere in all those menus - look in the instruction manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_muntz Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 You can change the time that it shuts itself off at, but the factory preset is 30 seconds. It's under Set Up in the menu. If you try to "wake it up" by pushing the shutter release half way down, give it a minute to do it - it seems to take almost as long as powering it on.
