Skip,
You may be right, there may be no current drain on the battery. I don't
know for certain. I based my assumption on my past experience with the
MESuper and my battery operated analyzers and laptops which drain the
battery much faster while in standby mode than when off. I should have
been more clear that my statement was an assumption.
Also, I misunderstood your original post, and thought you were leaving the
camera on ALL the time. You (Skip/"dosk") wrote:
Anyway, I'm not really talking about keeping the switch on ALL the
time! (Keeping it on in the bag was a mistake, of course...) But if I
were at a sporting event, say a basketball game I was shooting, I most
certainly would keep the camera on constantly whilst it was hanging
around my neck! (And would probably miss my best shot anyway, while
changing rolls...)
Been there, done that; both leaving the batteries on in the camera bag, and
changing rolls or lenses while the SHOT was occurring. <g>
I agree about leaving the camera on during an "event". I do the same.
