English term or phrase: The camera turns off
Dear French Translators,

I wonder if you could give me a suggestion.

The phrase is already translated, but I am in doubt.

English:
The camera turns off.
French:

L'appareil est mis hors tension.
(This "est mis hors tension" was corrected by the client.

The previous phrase was:
L'appareil s'eteint. (L'ecran ACL s'eteint egalement.)

Is "est mis hors tension" OK?

Is "est mise hors tension " Coorect?

I have read in anothe paragraph:
Mise hors tension de l'appareil.

OK, my question is:
L'appareil est mis hors tension. Correct???


Thanks!

Oui
Explanation:
Oui, Doris,
l'appareil est mis hors tension, parce que le participe passé "mis" s'accorde avec appareil (nom masculin).
Par contre on va parler de "mise hors tension" car là il n'y a pas d'accord, on parle de la mise (féminin).
