When things don't go right...
- Q4
- Why doesn't anything appears on the monitor screen for a while after I turn on camera and controller power?

- With firmware version 2.0 or higher, if you press the controller power button or if you do not perform any controller operation for the time specified by the "Sleep" setting on the SET UP menu* while there is a Bluetooth wireless technology connection between the camera and controller, the controller image will go blank, and the controller will enter a sleep state. After about five seconds, the camera will also enter a sleep state if no operation is performed. The operation lamp slowly flashes green while the camera is in the sleep mode. To restore the controller display, press the controller button. The Bluetooth wireless technology connection between the camera and controller is maintained even while they are in the sleep mode, so they can quickly recover when you press a button.
* With camera and controller version 2.00 or higher, you can specify either 30 seconds (30 sec) or 10 minutes (10 min).
If your camera and controller are version 2.00 or lower, update them.
EX-FR10 - Version 2.00
NOTE
• Turning off controller power does not turn off camera power.
With camera and controller version 2.00 or higher, turning off the camera turns off controller power.
• Pressing the controller's shutter button causes both the camera and the controller to exit the sleep mode.
• The operation lamps of both the camera and the controller flash while they are in the sleep mode.

• To protect against operation errors, be sure to turn off both the camera and the controller when transporting them.
• In areas where radio signal communication is prohibited or restricted, turn off both the camera and controller.
Do not leave them in the sleep mode.
• During an Interval Snapshot operation, flicking the controller's monitor screen will exit the sleep mode and display conditions that are configured for the operation.
• If you don't use the camera or controller while it is in the sleep mode, it will enter a deep sleep mode.
