Abstract
A dot sight having power saving functions and a control method thereof are disclosed. The dot sight, which includes a battery, a dot visual chart generator, and a reflector disposed therein and which is mounted on a portable gun, includes a controller which selects an operation mode in which power of the dot visual chart generator is turned on and a power saving mode in which the power of the dot visual chart generator is turned off, and a timer which measures a time from when the operation mode is started, and the controller converts a mode into the power saving mode after a predetermined time using a time measured by the timer. Accordingly, if the dot sight is not used in the operation mode, the dot sight automatically converts the operation mode into the power saving mode, and, if a movement is sensed in the power saving mode, converts the power saving mode into the operation mode, so that battery utilization efficiency can be improved. Also, if a movement is sensed by a vibration sensor when a user grips a gun or aims at a target, the power saving mode is released and thus power saving functions are achieved without any inconvenience.
