356 The “Setup” (Toolbox Icon) Menu Settings

9.10 POWER SAVE START TIME

Menu Position MENU  2  Pwr save Start Time

What it Does Controls how long before the camera shuts itself off

Recommended Setting “1 minute”

The A77 II automatically shuts itself off if none of its buttons have been
pressed or if nothing has come close to the EVF for a certain number of
minutes (as determined by “Power Saving Start Time” setting). This
parameter can be set to anywhere between 1 minute and 30 minutes.

TIP 1: When the camera is hooked up to a TV, this parameter is automatically
changed to 30 minutes. (And when you disconnect it from a TV, it reverts back
to your selected preference. Clearly the Camera can sense when it’s hooked up
to a TV.)
TIP 2: If you are uploading your pictures to your home computer via Wi-Fi, or
are doing so via an Eye-Fi card inserted (Section 9.6), the Power Save setting
will be ignored until all of the pictures have finished downloading.
