However, after experiencing battery drain twice while the M6 was in the bag I was made a convert and now I set the shutter at B if the camera is bagged and not in immediate use. Yes, I carry spare batteries in the same bag, but experience taught me that I was losing battery power in my M6 before I should have . My M6 hasn't lost a battery prematurely since I started using the B setting before bagging the camera. Respectfully and the best of light, Bill Caldwell Northern Virginia
