No. As the camera goes to sleep all by itself, the user need not neccessarily be consciously aware of this. Therefore, requiring a press on a specific button, a conscious action, is asking for operator errors. Having the camera wake up on any button press is, in this regard, a much better design. To answer the question: Power off time is 1 minute or longer, power on is with the power switch, a half-press on the shutter or a press on the play or info buttons... As power-off time is much longer than with the Canon, it seems less of a problem to me. -- Regards, Lucas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
