Thanks, Bill ... my old Sony Mavica had that, although the newer Sony
doesn't seem to. This battery concept, and turning a camera on/off will
certainly take some getting used to. There have been so many times when
I've forgotten to turn the 5n off, or forgot to turn it on before trying
to
use it and being unable to take a shot <sigh>
The digital powers itself down after a few minutes (user settable time
delay). The istD, if it has powered itself down, is ready to go again just
by touching and releasing the shutter button once.
What's remote assistant software?
You can attach the camera to a computer via a USB cable and control it from
there. I haven't investigated the possibilities fully though, so I really
don't know all that is available.
Note, I misread the subject line, I am talking about the istD, not the
istDs. I don't know if it can use the Remote Assistant or not.
